Hello ladies:) I'm a second time mom, and I'm very excited to be pregnant again. I knew I was pregnant 5 days after conception even though our positive test didn't come threw till 15 days. The thing is I don't know if I'm having twins yet! Having my first prenatal on Friday. BUT.... My positive test came up almost a week before my missed period and I'm showing already at 8 weeks. I just feel like I'm having twins. So nervous to even say that out loud Will they be able to tell at my first prenatal appt??!!...
HCG measurements are quite inflated when a multiple pregnancy is present. However, they are not considered a completely reliable indicator of twins or more. In most cases, a high HCG reading will only prompt further investigation.
TL/DR: An early BFP is not an indicator of multiples.

Im confused. You tested positive at 15 dpo, but that was a week before your period? That's not how it works, just for your information. Your period comes 12-16 days after you ovulate.
Re: Just one not 2
What makes you so sure that you're having twins?
Edied to add: you're bloated. Not showing.
