Liz, According to the archives, ultrasound can have an error rate of +/- a week or so. There are also different types of dating, from your LMP and from the conception date (about a two week difference) I also thought I saw two sacs when I went for my first ultrasound but the tech said no. I swear my bladder and the sac looked identical - just large black ovals on the screen. The high hcg levels would rise more questions though. This was my first pregnancy and I started outgrowing my clothes and all at around 11 weeks. My doctor said that it was because I am thin. I've also read in several places that you start showing sooner in later pregnancies. Wait and see what the doctor's on here say. If you're still not sure, call your doc. Good luck!
