First ultrasound and question

AlmostWrightAlmostWright member
in Pregnant after IF
I had my first ultrasound today at 5w6d, and we saw 1 sac measuring about 6 weeks with a yolk sac, fetus and heartbeat of 109! We didn't expect to see the heartbeat so are really happy. But they also saw a much smaller sac with just a yolk sac, no fetus. They called it a viable singleton gestation with twin implantation and said not to expect the second one to grow. They said it would most likely stop growing and be one reabsorbed, and not a problem for the other one. Anyone have any experience with this? I have another ultrasound scheduled for next Tuesday. 

DS born Jan 2010

TTC#2 since Nov 2010 with breaks for DH cancer tx (remission!)

Tube with hydro removed Feb 2013

    Sounds pretty similar to my experience. It's called a vanishing twin.

    I don't have experience because we decided to do eSET, but I did ask specifically about this in my consult with my RE when we were deciding whether to put back one or two embryos.  I asked if we did two and only one worked what happens to the other.  He said basically the same thing...if only one works, the other will most likely be reabsorbed by the body and won't cause any problems for the one that does grow.  Good luck!

    I don't have experience with this, just wanted to say I'm so sorry about what appears to be a vanishing twin.  But I'm glad LO appears to be doing great, and that you got to see that beautiful heartbeat!
