Long story short- I am just shy of 7 weeks with ID twins. Wondering at what point did others find they were having either di/di or mono/di as opposed to mo/mo. Nothing is visible yet, but the Peri says it's early. From the u/s pics I've seen online Di/Di seems pretty apparent. I'm very scared but he says we will know by 12 weeks. I am eager to know what others have experienced as this is all so new and overwhelming to me.
Di/di is almost always very obvious in 1st Tri, so based on your descriptions elsewhere I'd say it sounds like yours are mo/di or mo/mo.
Mine are mo/di, but were not confirmed as such till just shy of 14wks at our third u/s. We thoughy we saw the membrane at an earlier one, but it wasn't clearly visible till later.

When I went for ultrasound at 8 weeks they looked like they shared sac, but when I went back at 12 weeks we saw the memberane so they are mono/di. It's very thin but you could still see it . Don't mono/mono is very rare and rate of having mono/mono is minimal . Goodluck on ur next ultrasound
It was really clear at my first u/s at 7w and change that they were di/di. They were each in their own "black hole". Even as they got bigger, it was always super obvious - techs would comment how easy it was to find. I think their placentas were even in completely different spots.
We didn't find out until the 20 week ultrasound, which was a more high tech machine. Our twins weren't discovered until 17 weeks and the membrane is so thin it looked like mono/di. It wasn't until the level 2 ultrasound that it was clear it is di/di.
Mine were mo/tri and while one of the membranes was easy enough to see, the one between A & C wasn't found until 22 weeks. Very nervewracking.
However, if I'd known then that # of yolk sacs almost always corresponds to # of amniotic sacs, I wouldn't have worried so much. We saw all three yolk sacs at our 7w ultrasound.

I am really hoping that probes true for me. Thank you everyone for responding. I never thought in a million years that this would be my life! So crazy. But that's probably another post:)
We were told mono/di at our first ultrasound around 7 weeks so I'm guessing the RE saw it then but either didn't show us or we didn't pay attention because we were so surprised to see twins . They look for it at all the MFM ultrasounds and it seems to be getting easier to see for me anyway. Got a good look today at almost 25 weeks for a few seconds until A decided to kick B.
