U/S at 6w0d - what did you see?

zoobaby

We had our first ultrasound this morning and are currently pregnant with triplets - there were 3 yolk sacs!  However I say "currently" because the first sac the Dr. could hardly see anything in it - he said this could mean there isn't a fetal pole or it could mean the fetal pole was too close to the edge and was hard to see at this point.  The second sac he could see something but it was hard to distinguish it as a definite fetal pole, but he could see some movement.  And the third sac was similar to the second with seeing somewhat of a fetal pole but he saw more movement/heartbeat flicker in this one.  He calculated that I am 6w0d - he said he typically likes to see more but that it isn't abnormal to see what we see at this point.  Anyone have similar experiences?  What did you see at 6w0d?  I know one day can make such a huge difference especially this early on....but of course I'm nervous.  We go back next Tuesday for another ultrasound where he hopes we can get a clearer picture.  Dr. said his gut reaction is that we will be pg with twins - that the first one isn't there or won't continue growing.  Our IVF coordinator/nurse told us that with multiples that things can be smaller and possibly harder to see this early on....anyone with twins or triplets see/heard of this?  Or experienced this same thing at your first u/s?  Any feedback would be appreciated and would help calm my nerves until next week!!  Thanks so much

At 6w and a couple of days (I forget how many exactly) we saw 1 sac, 1 fetal pole, 1 heartbeat.

 Imagine our surprise when we saw 2 babies and 2 sacs at 9w!

 Hang in there! I know how hard it is, but there's a good chance you'll see a lot more in a few weeks

At 6w4d we saw two sacs,  but only one heartbeat. The doctor told us that it had been twins, but it looked like only one was viable. At 7w5d we saw two strong heartbeats. They've measured a few days different at every appt. This might be a different circumstance though because the doctors think they are probably fraternal and may have actually been conceived a few days apart. Good luck!!

At 6 weeks, we saw only one sac and no heartbeat. The doctor said the sac was measuring at 7 weeks (even though I was pretty sure about my dates) and there should have been a heartbeat by then, so they prepared me/us for the possibility the pregnancy wasn't viable and started to talk about the next steps if the next US confirmed a miscarriaged. About ten days later I went back for a follow-up and they discovered three (!!!) strong heartbeats...so, you just never know what might happen! I'll be thinking good thoughts and sending them your way...

At 6 weeks 1 day we saw 2 sacs and two heartbeats. They have been measuring ahead, even though I am sure of my dates. But I don't think that you can know anything conclusive at the 6 week U/S.

At 6w4d we saw 2 sacs and only 1 fetal pole.  At 9 weeks we saw both babies!

Good luck and happy and healthy 9 months to you!

At 6w2d we saw two distinct saks and heartbeats.  But the heart starts beating right around 6 wks, so it's very possible the other two hearts could have started beating already!  I would wait until your next appointment, I'm sure things will be much more clear.
