Difference in gestational sac size in twins...normal????
Long story short... Hubby and I went in yesterday for our first US. At 6wks, 3 days we were able to see TWO healthy heartbeats!!!! We are over the moon excited, but still in a bit of shock.
Our biggest source of concern at this point is that one of the gestational sacs was noticeably smaller than the other, and the doctor wasn't in for us to ask any questions, we only saw the US tech. Did anyone else with multiples have this happen? The tech just indicated that this would be something we would be monitoring, but she didn't sound concerned. Any insight or experience would be appreciated!

Trying since Jan 2011. Unexplained IF.
2 IUIs = BFN.
1 IVF (Dec 2013) = BFN.
FET, 2 frosties (June 13, 2014)
14dp5dt-June 27 -BFP, beta 2061. 2nd beta >5000, 3rd beta >5000, 2 sacs 06/30.
Twin Girls - 02/11/15 - at 37 weeks (no NICU, home with me at 3 days).
Thank you both! I appreciate hearing from women who have "been there". It was not the easiest feeling knowing that there was a difference, and the doctor was not available to get additional information from.
He will be back in the office on Monday and will be hearing from me to schedule my first OB appointment though.
Good luck in your pregnancies ladies!!
Just a quick update. I have heard back from the doctor, he is not concerned at all with the gestational sac size difference. He said that since the babies are measuring about the same size and both with strong heart beats, that as long as they both continue to grow at a steady rate then all is well.
Just an update, for those searching the boards in the future. (I always hate it when someone starts a thread with an issue I can relate to, but you never know how it ends up.)
I went in for an US at 13 weeks and found out that baby B had stopped developing, and had no heart beat. We are devastated about the loss of another sweet baby, but at the same time we are relieved that baby A is healthy and strong.
