Heartbeat question...
Hi, we had our first sono today. We did IVF and I am 5w6d. 
The sonogram showed 2 sacs, 2 fetal poles, but only 1 heartbeat, so far.
He originally told me to come back on Friday, but then called me tonight and decided to make it Monday instead.  There's still a chance there could be a 2nd heartbeat, right?
To be honest DH and I both thought we saw one, but what do we know?   My dr. said it was still early, but I guess I'm just looking for reassurance. TIA!

Re: Heartbeat question...
I had a few sonos done in the 6 week range which only showed 1 gestational sac which had no growth. Given the fact my HCG was nearly 30,000, the OB felt a HB and fetal pole should be present (they are usually seen with a HCG of 7,000-8,000).
The OB scheduled me for a D&C saying it was a non viable pregnancy. At 7 weeks I went in for the D&C, they did a sono first to confirm there wasn't growth or a heartbeat. Well there were 2 very strong, healthy heartbeats!!!

Re: Heartbeat question...
Thanks everyone! We were supposed to go tomorrow and he changed it from Friday to Monday when I talked to him last night, so we have to wait a few more days for an answer.

Re: Heartbeat question...
At a 6 week sono they told us one had a faint hearbeat and not to tell anyone it's twins yet because it could be a "vanishing" twin. I think there is still time for you.

That's what he saw with us. He said 2 sacs and 2 poles, but only 1 heartbeat and it took him a while to find that one. He had to zoom in REALLY close... hopefully tomorrow will have been enough time so we'll know what's what! Thanks for responding!

Re: Heartbeat question...
Definitely still a good chance...one of my twins was always a few days behind, from the very beginning.
Good luck! I will be waiting for your update
