Had my first scan (very early at 6w 3d) today, and was wondering what this is in the circle? The doctor kept focusing on the baby in the lower left, but never mentioned this, but it was clearly visible at every angle. What could it be? For some reason identical twins have been on my mind lately and now husband is paranoid. 😂 Haha. My HCG levels are also high (were 60,000 at 5 weeks), although I know this may not mean anything at all. Thanks for the insight! I’m not assuming twins but am curious.

Is there a reason you can't call your doctor and ask? The best people to ask are the actual ultrasound experts.
I’m an ultrasound technologist and could not tell you from that one picture. It could be the yolk sac, could be a second fetal pole without heart tones so they chose not to say anything about it, could just be tissue. You need to ask your OB.
Why didnt you ask the medical professional. You noticed they were not focusing on it - why not ask then and there? If the tech wouldnt be able to answer, the doc would have been able to. If it were twins, I'm sure they would have told you.
