Two Yolk Sacs? (Pics Included)

I had my first ultrasound on Thursday. My doctor told me that I was earlier than we thought (5+3 weeks). She then noted that she saw one definite yolk sac and a possible second! She said it's so early and she's not 100% sure, so she scheduled me for another ultrasound Dec 26th. I asked if it was possible to be a fetal pole and she told me that it does not have the characteristics of one. I think I see two yolk sacs now that I have zoomed in on the pic a bit but what do you ladies think?

This is the unedited ultrasound photo.

This is the edited pic. The two yellow dots are where I think I see two yolk sacs.

    I'm sorry it doesn't look like any of the twin ultrasounds I've seen. I would wait a little longer & see what comes up at your next appointment. Good luck!

    How exciting would twins be?  Please update when you have your next ultrasound and the picture is more clear. :)

    Yes, my doctor did explain they would be identical twins because they would share the same gestational sac, but she's wants to be positively sure before she confirms a multiple pregnancy. Thanks for responding ladies! The 26th can't come soon enough! I'm excited!

    I don't know enough about this to say for sure but is it possible that one of those dots could be the yolk sac and the other a fetal pole forming?

    One looks more elongated than the other, that's why I don't necessarily think they're both sacs.

    The picture posted doesn't look like twins to me, though I'm guessing that your OB might be taking other better angles into consideration? Either way, congrats on your pregnancy.

    FWIW, I attached one of my 6wk u/s (I have mo-di boys) pictures for comparison. It's only a few days further along than yours, but the two yolk sacs and fetal poles are pretty easy to spot.
