Anyone ever had a first ultrasound with two gestational sacs but only one looks like it has a yolk sac and fetal pole. Then go back weeks later and find two babies?? Please help!!

Yes, that can happen. It all depends on how far a long you where when you had your ultrasound.

One of the sacs measured 5 wks 6 days and the other 5 wks 5 days. The one that was5 wks 6 days is the one that we saw a yolk sac and fetal pole.

I am so glad that you asked this question too. I posted the other day (help me understand my ultrasound). From all of the research that I did, it is not uncommon to not be able to visualize both fetuses until 8 weeks or so. Also, a vanishing twin tends to develop and the disipate. One twin (unless identical) typically develops before the other, and if fraternal, there is sometimes the delay of one-one and a half weeks between the ages of the fetuses. Different due dates but born on the same day. Odd, but it all depends on individual ovulation cycles.

thank you for your response. I guess we will see at my 8 wk U/S if there really is one or two in there. Good luck to you also I will let you know what we see in a week.

I too have the same question, I had my first ultrasound at 5 1/2 weeks and they also saw two gestational sacs but only one had the yolk sac & fetal pole. My next US isn't until June 6 and I am very nervous.

to confused, it may have been to early for you to see both fetal poles. hang in there everything will be fine.

To Honor: When is your next ultrasound? I would really like to know what happens. Good luck.
