Twins vs Singleton

My first beta was high so I was thinking twins.  The second beta was progressively high.  I was thinking twins, but my husband who is an ob/gyn only found one gestational sac at week 5.  I really thought that it would be twins.  I even thought maybe I saw another spot on the ultrasound.  I asked if maybe, maybe he was missing one, nope.  Well, today, Week 6, day 4, we found one heartbeat in one sac and saw a second sac, but didn't explore it due to him getting paged.  We shall see next week.

Last night I spotted, literally a few red spots when I wiped, but because I didn't have cramping, I went back to bed.  Of course, that was after I consulted the internet for 20 minutes and then woke him up to tell him.

It is still super early and we are getting excited.  I have been saying, "if I'm pregnant," but I was only saying that because he didn't want to get his hopes up and admit it was a sure pregnancy.  I guess I have a 5% chance of miscarrying now that we saw a heartbeat.  He referred to "it" as a girl a few times tonight.  One of his nurses said that she dreamed it was a girl.  The same nurse told me, before she ever knew, that she dreamed one night, that I was having twins too.

My OHSS is so much better.  I feel a little different in the belly, but feel normal.  I am one pound from my normal weight.  I think I am done losing the extra fluid weight, as my weight has remained the same for three days now.  The ultrasound showed some fluid still in the belly.
