2 sacs,2 yolks,only 1 heartbeat at 6w6d Help! Ghost,anyone?

Hi Gals,
So I went for my first u/s to find that there are 2 sacs, 2yolks, but the doc could only see and hear 1 heartbeat. The sac without a heartbeat was a little harder to see. My question is has this happened to any of you? If so please share your story. I want to know if it's possible for the other baby to develop or is the beginning of a loss?

You may want to move your question to the IVF board. I think that is where ghost usually reads and responds.

Tortilla, I am sorry for your stress right now! I do know of someone recently finding out she had twins after an initial u/s at 7 weeks showed one sac without a heartbeat and one with a heartbeat - and the second one made it! You may wish to put this question out again and see if she responds, as I am not sure how her chances were of the second one making it. I do know that some embryos don't have a heartbeat until a bit later, and with twins, it may have implanted later, as well - you just don't know. Unfortunately, patience is your best course right now, and there is hope that the little one will pick it up and make it yet. I wish you the best of luck to see that little heartbeat soon on the second sac!

Ok thank you. I posted it again on the IVF portion.

That perrson was me! We had first scan at 7w3d and saw two sacs and one strong heartbeat. Was just thankful that had 1 healthy heartbeat and focused on that. Dh was convinced it would be twins though! At 12w scan we saw two little babies both measuring on scale both with strong heartbeats:-)

keep the faith xxxx

Wishful: Thanks so much for sharing your story. Now I have some hope that I will hear the other heartbeat. So you had an u/s at 7w3d...then did you not have another u/s until week 12? Or did you still only see one heartbeat at the u/s in between?
