twins with only 1 sac *UPDATED*

I am a regular LIF poster, but due to the sensitivity of my issue, I wanted to stay anonymous for now. I hope you all understand.

I had my first sono today and we saw 2 heartbeats in one sac. It is too early to tell if there is a membrane separating them and I go back next week and hopefully they will be able to give me more info.
First of all, I am extremely shocked by this news. It took us so long to get PG (we already have 1 DC, this is our 2nd PG) and never in my wildest dreams did i ever think I would have twins.
I know it is very early (only 6 wks, 2 days), and at this point, anything can happen, but I just need some advice or information from anyone that has experienced this. DH and I are in a state of shock today and I cannot stop crying. I am terrified of the idea of having twins and even more so for the risks involved with this type of PG (especially if no membrane separating them is found).

If you feel more comfortable you can FM me.

TIA



ETA: I guess I'm just shocked and scared. We saw an RE but never took any fertility meds, just hormones. I cannot believe this and dont know how this has happened...we have no twins on either side of the family. I know its a blessing, but I am terrified.

EATA (11/25/09):
My Dr is pretty sure she saw a membrane today!!!!!!!!! We see a high risk OB on Tuesday and he will confirm, but I already feel so much better!!!!!

Re: twins with only 1 sac?

Isn't that just Identical Twins? B/c they are sharing the same sac... I am not quite sure...

Good Luck!

CONGRATS!!!

Re: twins with only 1 sac?

I have identical twins that shared a sac. At 13 weeks (when i found out). It took them about 20 seconds before they found the membrane separating them.

Re: twins with only 1 sac-when did you see a membrane?

Sorry you are upset.

Question-What would it mean if their isn't a membrane seperating them?

First of all congratulations! My twins have two sacs but I do have some knowledge on one sac. FM if you would like.
