Has this ever happened to you?

I am supposed to be 8 weeks preg., but while there is 1 gestational sac and two (sacs inside, I am guessing they are the start of the placentas?). However, there doesn't seem to be any embryos attached. My RE and OB think it is a bad preg., but said we could wait another week and see what happens.

Has anyone ever had this happen of heard of anyone it happened to with a positive healthy pregnancy result? I keep thinking that maybe because there are twins in the same sac, they are developing slower? The doctors are saying it is probably fraternal twins because I did IVF (how is this possible that they are in the same sac?)

I look forward to your replies.

so sorry that you are going thru this.

Did they retest your HCG levels to see if they are still going up??

Hope everything works out for you!

Thanks for your kind words and reply. No, they didn't. As far as my RE is concerned, I am now under the OB's care becaue I need a D&C. My OB agrees, but said I could wait a week. She never tests like the RE does, so I am guessing she is not expecting the miracle I am hoping for. My last beta on the day I found out there was a problem was very high. I have been doing some reading and think this is called a blighted ovum, however none of my doctors used this term.
