When can they tell you that you are having twins?

Hi all,

I am not pregnant yet, but I was curious how far along you have to be before they can tell you are having twins?

Thanks!

Re: When can they tell you that you are having twins?

We did IVF (tranfered three embryos hoping for twins) and pretty much knew when the doctor call 19 days past ovulation with a Beta score of 631. That is a very high score for that day and out of the range (I think the top singleton number was 500 something) for singleton birth so I had a good idea.

A week later I went to my RE and saw teeny, tiny, blinking dots (basically the size of the ball point on a pen). She told me those blinking dots were the two heartbeats.Chat Icon and you could see the tiny sacs.

Here are pics of the zygotes and then the boo-boos at 7.5 weeks. This is about three weeks after the first sonogram so you can imagine how tiny they were then.

7 weeks, at 6 weeks when they did a sonogram, they only saw one with a shadow and what they thought was a VERY strong heartbeat, to our surprise it was not one strong heartbeat but 2, one was hiding the other.

Re: When can they tell you that you are having twins?

I knew I was pregnant before I got the possitive HPT.
At about 5 weeks I was in the hospital dehydrated & they did a sono & told me they were twins.
