I just posted this in first trimester but I thought I might get more responses in this area.
I am 6 weeks 3 days right now. We took 50 mg Clomid to become pregnant. At five weeks exactly we went for our first ultrasound. The tech asked us 3 times what kind of fertility drugs we'd been taking, and she found what she thought were two gestational sacs. She did both an abdominal and a vaginal scan. She said she wasn't 100% sure since it's so early and you're not able to actually see the baby inside at that point, only the sac. She measured them both as if they were babies, and then proceeded to tell us, "there may be more that I just can't see right now." She wasn't laughing when she said that either. (She never turned the screen so I could see, but my husband said the two sacs looked exactly the same, and he said she spent a lot of time hovered over a third spot that was lighter than the other two) We didn't get a picture to take with us either, and we had to wait 3 days until our doctor's appt to get more info! At the appt my doctor didn't even bring up the ultrasound, I had to ask her about it. She said "the baby is measuring just fine." No mention of other possible babies. I told her what the tech said and she said, "it looks like there was also a small cyst or maybe some fluid that she saw." No mention of the third possible baby. I won't be scheduled for another ultrasound for about 3 more weeks and I'm kind of going crazy. If she doesn't know if its a cyst or some fluid, how does she know its not another baby? And usually if an ultrasound tech thinks she sees more than one baby they bring someone in for a second opinion, mine never did that. Also, even though I have only gained a few pounds, I already feel way more pregnant than 6 weeks. My back is killing me already, it feels like its trying to support a 6 month belly. I'm already breathing really heavily. All I want to do is eat and sleep ALL THE TIME. I feel like this is so different than my first two pregnancies (both singletons, also conceived on Clomid). Almost from the moment of conception I've felt sure that there is more than one in there, and all I wanted to know at that first ultrasound was that there was only one! Now I am just so confused! Anyone have any similar experience or advice? Was anyone told they had a cyst and later found out it was twins? Any thoughts would be helpful right now!
