8-16 weeks, mine were di/di. As of 16w, they were mono/di. I guess the placentas merged sometime between 13-16 weeks? I get ultrasounds done all the time, lol. Found out last week at 17w exactly that it's two boys! I have another US tomorrow with the MFM to confirm.
If yours were mono/di ... what'd ya have, identical or fraternal?
I realize this in no way, shape or form determines what we may have ... I'm just curious (and bored at work!)
Mine were suspected di/dI but weren't sure because of the placenta. That was until they were born - they are polar opposites
Me: 37 DH: 40 TTC since 9/09
#1 BFP 1/10/11; missed m/c discovered 7w5d IF Dx: Endo, hetero MTHFR mutation, poor morphology #1 IUI: 1/18/12 = BFN #1 IVF/ICSI 4/2/12 = 2 x 7-cell and 1 x 5-cell transferred (3dt) = BFP!!
H was born at 41w2d on 12/29/12 - be still my heart! #2 IVF/ICSI 1/19/14 = 2 x 8 cells transferred (3dt) = BFP!! EDD 10/09/14 M&W born at 37 weeks on 9/18/14 - I am the momma of 3 boys!!!
Your twins are di-di. A "fused" placenta is not working like one placenta in a mo-di pregnancy- it is still two placentas (in rare cases there can be some vascular issues). Can they be identicals being di-di? yes they can, but they can (and are more likely) to be fraternal. My boys were di-di and are fraternals- could tell right from the first look. Oh and I didn't have a fused placenta- I had an anterior and a posterior placenta.

You're right! Went to the MFM today and they're di/di. Both my regular OB and an US tech (in different offices) called them mono/di my last couple visits. The MFM will be following me from now on, lol ...
This twin stuff can be so confusing at first. We are having di/di twins, a boy and a girl so we know they are not identical. My doctor said 35% chance of di/di being identical if they are the same sex.
I just had my mid way ultrasound on Monday and had no idea i was having Twins until that day. They are both boths and each have their own sac and placenta does this mean they are di/di? If so there is still a chance they may be identical ????? OHHH MY

They could be identical, but most likely fraternal. It all depends on if the fertilized egg split before implantation. 30% they are identical IF they are the same sex.
