OMIGOSH!!!!
Okay, so I just had an ultrasound (6 weeks, 6 days, I think), and we saw two strong heartbeats!
And they're sharing a gestational sac, so that means that one of the embryos we transferred has split, and we can expect identical twins. It also means high risks for this pregnancy, so of course I'm terrified, but also stunned.
I'm sort of at the front of the group (EDD 1/2/18, though that will likely be moved up, given the twins), but has anyone else had an ultrasound and learned that they've got multiples on the way?
Has anyone had multiples in a prior pregnancy? Where do I even start, to learn about what to expect? I'm FTM, 40, and freaked the F out!

yay, congrats! i'm so happy for you, this is exciting news!!
I know the risks are there, but I don't yet know what I need to be doing to minimize the risks! For now, I'm trying to push through the nausea to eat healthy food, and I'm ordering books online. My age also brings risks, as does the fact that we used IVF, but I understand that being high risk means that that I can expect a *lot* of monitoring. I'm still with an RE right now (I thought I'd be released today, but she wants to see me again in two weeks for another ultrasound).

@KatieEl Thank you!!!! I didn't see this when I did my original search!!
@KLake42 meeeeeee!! We did our initial scan on Tuesday (5/16) and saw two little heartbeats!!
My EDD is 1/4/18 but I'm sure that will get moved up too. Mine are fraternal (we know I ovulated 2-3 eggs) I am 7 wks today and on Tuesday Baby A was measuring 7wks and Baby B was measuring 6w5d so we think B implanted a few days later.
There also seems to be a lot of variance in ultrasound technician skills, though. And sometimes embryos do implant at different times.
When is your next scan? Are you hoping for twins, or would you prefer a singleton pregnancy?
I'm delighted at the idea of two babies, but I'm really scared about a the risks of a twins pregnancy.

We are in the same boat as kiwisun. We went for an ultrasound today and they saw two sacs, but said one may disappear naturally.
We will go back I'm two weeks (June 7th) and know for sure!
