    With Ds3 we had a second sac which was barely able to been seen.. but I was 7 weeks and they could tell the sac had collapsed and baby was not viable.

    I think you might just have to wait it out for a couple of weeks. My HCG levels were quite high with Ds3 as well

    Can I ask where you read the risk of internal US and mc? only curious as I have had them with all my pregnancies and never had an issue but then i didn't know the risks either..

    You are very early on in your pregnancy and at this stage it is hard to see anything without an internal ultrasound (which I would not be keen for either, so totally understand your decision not to have one). There is no way to say really what will happen. Hopefully the next two weeks will pass without drama and you can get some answers then

    The us lady told me that the risk was minimal, but has been know to cause ms, and because we have had previous mc, my hubby said no.

    Thanks for your replies ladies, i just wish i knew, none of the dates add up, and i would rather it be twins than a bleed, cause that would freak me out even more!
    Is it even possiable for the sac to be empty at this stage and then have a fetus in it in a week or two?
    this waiting is gunna do my head in!

    If the sac was an actual sac, you could tell by now sweets, it would look just like the other one.

    I think it has either already collapsed, ( I seen this with Harmony's twin, its just doesnt look like a properly shaped/formed sac) or its a bleed.. there is a name for it... cant think of it dammit.... that in most cases dissapears or may bleed out a little.

    Seeing a heartbeat is great news sweets!!!!!
    Will be thinking of you.... xoxoxo

    Oh forgot to add, definatly possible to have a empty sac that has a baby at next ultrasound, but it doesnt sound like it is a viable sac from what the lady said to you... the sac still should be a proper shape, simular to the one with bub in it.. but you never know!!!

    Wow that does sound a bit confusing. Yay for the little heartbeat though

    I've never heard of risk of miscarriage for internal u/s either. It doesn't even go in far.. it just sits at the entrance
