Is it twins? 6 week ultrasound included

[mac04]

I would like to start off with a little bit of history, test results, and my concerns.  I have been concerned that I have been carrying more than one baby since day one. I tested positive on a hpt at 3w4d. This being said I also concived within 1-2 weeks of discontinuing the pill. My betas were drawn- 4w5d 1527 5w5d 18,500. my ultrsound was perfomed at  6w0d and diagnosed as a singleton pregnancy.  Throughout the u/s I continued to notice a mass to the upper left of my baby. I asked the u/s tech what it was. she said " THEY are uterine vessels" .... Okay so I couldn't help but think to myself that is one embryo looking uterine vessel, I accepted her professional diagnosis and went on my way.  However now , a week later, everytime I glance at my u/s pic my eyes are immediatly drawn away from my baby to the mass I questioned. I can't help but to think I'm just crazy.  I have had 3 succesful pregnancys prior to this and not once have I ever seen anything like this on my u/s. My next doc appointment isn't for another 2 weeks and I'm already feeling a bit neurotic about this.  Any advice or tips  are greatly appreciated and welcomed with an open mind. Thank you so much. I hope the pic is clear enough for you to view what I am seeing.

I see what you are looking at now.  Do not pay any attention to anything you are seeing that is off to the left and right of the actual uterus.  Only the very center of the u/s is your uterus.  Everything off to the sides of the uterus is loops of bowel and your bladder off to the far right.

Remember only the CENTER of the u/s is the uterus.

I really hope you switch doctor's after the other post I saw on another Forum.  Your doctor doesn't sound like he is taking you seriously.

Take care of yourself, okay?

I really don't understand what your u/s tech was talking about.  What you are seeing is what is called the "fetal pole."  The straight line image and the "curly cue" above it, is the yolk sac.

Your u/s looks 100% normal to me and I also feel 100% sure that you have absolutely nothing to worry about.  Your u/s is perfect and so is that little peanut you are carrying.  Congratulations and please try not to worry.

If you have questions, please don't be afraid to call your doctor and tell them what is bothering you about the u/s, so they can put your mind at ease.

All the Best to you and your pregnancy,

Heather
