Re: First u/s question
Congrats - not too soon at all to intro!
Fraternal twins will show up as two gestational sacs. If one of the embryos split into identical twins (as happened with us), then most identical twins are in one gestational sac (although it is possible for twins in two gestational sacs to be identical). I didn't have an ultrasound until 7 weeks when we knew for sure we should see a heart beat (or two, as it ended up being).
3/22 ER: 25R, 20M, 15F. 9 genetically normal, and 3 survived to Day 5
3/27 ET: transferred 1 embryo, beta 9dp5dt=163, 12dp5dt=639
4/25 1st ultrasound at 7 weeks = identical twins with heartbeats?!!!
