Yolk Sac
by NJG822, Mar 10, 2008 01:15PM
I am 23 days (IVF Transfer) into my pregnancy.
I went for my first ultra sound and it is twins.
Baby A is 12.77mm and a yolk sac is seen.
Baby B is 10.50mm but they could not see a yolk sac.
My HCG level is 16,918.
Is not being able to see a yolk sac normal/Ok in the first u/s or
is baby B not going to develop? Or will it just show up next u/s??

Hello,
A gestational sac and yolk sac need to be seen, but it is very early. A follow up scan in a few weeks will be helpful.
Best regards,
Dr. Downing
