When do you find out if you're having multiples?

MaBride07

Hi All,

I had been doing fertility treatments and recently got a BFP (yay!).  I'm wondering at what point will I be able to find out if I'll be blessed with multiples or a singleton?

 

Thanks!

at your first ultrasound.

At your first u/s.  We went in at 5w6d but every RE is different.

We found out at our first ultrasound...6 weeks 1 day. Good luck!

I got a BFP, went into RE right away (I actually didn't start fertility treatments yes, was going to start in vitro) and they did a u/s right away and saw three sacs/triplets!  I was about 5.5 weeks.

Im the exception.  My first u/s only showed one baby.  u/s 2 was almost 12 weeks and that is when we saw twins.  I made them look extra good because I said I couldnt come to every u/s finding another baby.

I didn't find out until 12 weeks during an u/s. ?At 8 weeks (now I think it was actually 9 weeks) we heard one heartbeat via doppler, but we were not looking for two and I don't know if you can even hear two on those things. ?They were conceived naturally however and we were not expecting twins which is why I think we found out later than others. ??

I went in for an early u/s at 5 weeks & my little twinnies were snuggled up next to each other!

I found out at 8 weeks, my first DR's appt.  They did an U/S to see how far along I was since I had no clue......

More then likely at your first ultrasound (I say more then likely because there are a few on this board who did not discover the 2nd baby until almost 20 wks) rare but it does happen.  We found out at our 6 wk u/s  Congrats!

I found out at my first u/s, 7 weeks

We found out it was twins at our first ultrasound which was 7w2d. My RE doesn't schedule the first U/S before 7weeks so that he can be sure the hearts are beating and there are no questions. Before 6 weeks you may see more than one sac, but may not see hb's yet.

I found out at my first US...but that was close to 18 weeks when they did the anatomy check! Imagine my surprise- they were my firsts so I didn't think anything of any symptoms. All the heartbeat check at earlier appts. turned up one heartbeat- but they weren't looking for 2!
