question about my twins

I just found out i am pregnant wih twins. It was only my first appointment and i am only 7 weeks so the doctor didnt tell me whether they are fraternal or identical yet.they are in separate sacs, and i dont have any history of twins in my family. What is the likelihood that they are either fraternal or identity? The picture is in my profile to give u an idea.

I had family history strong
And my babies in different sacs since 6wks
And their placenta is separate too
But my doctor said almost identical
They are the same sex

Congratulations! I also have no history of twins and just had fraternal.  It looks like they could be fraternal.

They look like faternal twins to me. My first ultrasound was at 11 weeks and there was no line at all seperating my twins (which made them identical).  My sister in law also had twins and there was an obvious line between them at her 6 week check up which looks just like yours.  I am due middle of September but most twins are born between 34-38 weeks. Way to go. Also I have no history of twins either.
