Re: vanishing twin syndrome??

  • I don't know if my situation is considered vanishing twin syndorme or not.

    I went in at 7 weeks for an ultrasound.  2 sac were found and only one heartbeat.  I went back at 9 weeks and only 1 baby remained -- We could not see the other baby/sac at all.  It was already absorbed by my body. 

    ETA: My beta numbers were high (I think 475 @ 14dp IUI - then 2700 @ 16dp IUI).  I did not get my betas checked again after the U/S since baby A had a strong heart beat.

    Did you have any BETA's done or did you not realize it till you went in four your u/s?  Thanks for your help.

    I was late with my Edit -- but I added my beta's to my reply.

  • I had a vanishing twin with my first pregnancy.  My first beta was 390 at 15dpo, then around 800 at 17dpo.  First ultrasound around 6 weeks showed 2 sacs, one normal one with a baby in it, and a smaller one with just a yolk sac.  They checked me again the following week, and it was still measuring about a week behind the other, though it did seem to have a flickering heartbeat that time.  The week after that, it was gone.
