Could you be pregnant with twins and not be able to see but one baby on the ultrasound?

This is possible. One baby could be hiding behind the other baby (peek-a-boo!). But the Doppler used to listen to the baby's heart rate will dispel this, because you and the doctor will be able to hear two fetal heartbeats (not your own which will sound very very very light in the background). If the Doppler detects two fetal heartbeats, but you can only see one baby on the ultrasound, the doctor will try to get the baby to move so that the other can be detected by the ultrasound. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean they don't have other means of discovering it. They will look for anything, like extra developments internally, rather than an external view (such as, oh look there's another spinal cord developing). If he still can't see individual twins, and the Doppler shows two fetal heartbeats, it may be Siamese twins, which will also eventually become visible in an ultrasound as they grow and need to move, just like regular twins will become visible in later ultrasounds as they grow and need to move.

How early can you tell if there are twins?
as soon as you can hear the heartbeat, sometimes they beat in sync tho so you cant tell until the ultrasound...If you suspect twins tell your dr. and ask for an early ultrasound, although they may already have an idea because of HCG levels on blood pregnancy test
How many weeks pregnant before you know if its twins or not?
they should be able to tell right away but sometimes the twin is hidden behind the other one.They can tell right then and there if they give you an internal ultrasound but sometimes the regular ultrasound dont get all the way around the uterus so the twin could be hidden.

You shouldn't be big at all. At five weeks pregnant you have just developed an embryo. An ultrasound typically will not even be able to detect a heartbeat yet.
Can a horse be pregnant even if she has a negative ultrasound?
Depending on the date of the ultrasound the mare could still be pregnant under certain circumstances. 1) If the mare has many uterine cysts a pregancy could be mistaken for a cyst. 2) If the conceptus is not large enough to be observed at the time of the ultrasound. (ex. the ultrasound is done at what is thought to be day 12 post ovulation but the conceptus is only at day 10). 3) The mare double ovulated and only the younger conceptus, which has gone unobserved, continues to develop. Usually, the veterinarian determines if the mare has double ovulated during the course of each ultrasound. If the mare does not return to heat as expected after a negative ultrasound she should be rechecked for pregnancy and, if open, the veterinarian may be able to determine the rootcause for her failure to return to heat.
I have an ultrasound scheduled on the 30th of this month if I am pregnant would they be able to see anything on the ultrasound even though it is only two weeks after ovulation?
If you were pregnant the developing embryo would be about the size of the head of a pin. The embryo is not the first sign of pregnancy found on ultrasound; the yolk sac shows up long before the embryo is visible. The yolk sac can't be seen uon ultrasound until at least four weeks after the last period.
If you have had a miscarriage and are being sent for an ultrasound what are they expecting to see and will it tell you that you were pregnant or show any signs of previously being preg?
They could be checking for any tissue that was not expelled during the miscarriage. They may be able to tell that you were pregnant depending on how long ago the miscarriage happened, and if anything was left behind.

Get an ultrasound... they'll be able to tell you how long you've been pregnant after that (usually can tell u the date you got pregnant... but it could be off by as much as a week either way)
How do you figure out who got you pregnant?
If the sexual encounters were too close you have to wait until after birth and take a DNA test. If they were not that close the doctor might be able to tell when watching the ultrasound.

How soon can you see twins on ultrasound?
To see twins, it depends what kind of twins you are having. Faternal twins (Two (2)separate eggs that are both fertalized) can be seen on your first ultrasound, as early as 6 weeks or 4 week if your doctor orders a vaginal ultrasound. Identical twins (One (1) egg that has been fertalized by one sperm, but decides to make 2 babies) can be seen when the fetal pole is present which shows as early as 9 weeks. Hope this helps you and CONGRATULATIONS!!!
