Two gestational sacs!
Two yolk sacs!
Each measuring five weeks, three days! (I am five weeks, five days, but I believe there is a margin of error, so surely this counts as appropriately sized?)
One fetal pole!
Both sacs pronounced “cute” by Certified Nurse Practitioner!

Tedious recounting (with pictures!) to come later.

WOW, congrats from a lurker, that all sounds great! Don’t worry about the measurement being a bit off, there is a lot of error at this stage. They always told that the measurement was + or – 2 days. Cheers!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m thrilled for you! Yay!

And yes, there is a margin of error, anywhere from +/- 2 to 4 days, I think. Also, your OB’s office may not have as high-powered a machine as the RE (so you’ll get better measurements at your RE US)–I know that my last RE appointment the fetbryo measured 7w6d and we could see the rough outline of head and umbilical cord, but a few days later at the OB it measured 7w4d and was just a big blur.

I almost yelled “YIPPEEE!” out loud at work. Not that I haven’t ever done other embarrassing things at work, but it makes the surfing hard to explain and all.

That is wonderful news.

Another out-of-the-woodwork lurker here, to say congratulations (& congratulations again!) for the double-gestation. Even though I obviously don’t know you guys personally, I’m thrilled for you & Scott; you definitely deserve this after everything you’ve been through.

Littledifficult September 20, 2007 at 1:17 pm

MsPrufrock September 20, 2007 at 1:20 pm

And thus the similarity ends…

Congratulations! I think the most important issue to address is, will Scott be able to have a pet crow, or does this plan now move to the back burner?
