In that case, I agree with texasangel. Either one is a bit slower to develop than the other...or only one is viable and the other one is what they call a vanishing twin (where no embryo develops).

One might have implanted later and so it's slow developing or it could be a vanishing twin.  Your doctor didn't tell you what that meant?  He/She should have informed you.

Do you mean there's only one sac with two yolk sacs inside? If so, it could be identical twins!
