    How far along do you think you are?

    The way I read your results is that it is an early multiple pregnancy so you would need to go and have another scan in a week or two to see if anything has developed. In multiple pregnancies a twin or triplet sometimes does not develop at the same speed of the other(s) or for one or two to not develop further at all so don't get stressed yet. Wait til you get your next lot of results before stressing too much.

    I think that sounds like something called a blighted ovum (empty gestational sac), where the fetus does not continue to develop past the 6th week.

    However, it does seem really early on in the pregnancy and up to week 6-7 the u/s might only show the sac, and no developing fetuses.

    Is it possible to have another u/s in two weeks to check?

    As to the size issue, i agree with satya - twins/triplets can often develop at different stages, and sometimes only one actually develops.
