I was wondering how far along you have to be before it can be determined if you're having twins. Is ultrasound the only method of determing this, or can you take a blood test?

at 4-6 wks they can usually see 2 seperate sacs for faternal twins. they may be able to see to fetal poles that early for faternal but it may need to wait a couple more weeks. HCG levels will be higher in multiples so a blood test can give you an idea.

When you are pregnant with twins your hormone levels are much higher than with a single baby. A blood test can show that in the first trimester and then backed up by an ultrasound.

Well I am a mommy to be and I was told by my doctor that the fifth month is the earliest and that is only if the baby is acting right to make the ultrasound possible to read.

ultrasound is the first and earliest way thereafter an amnio can tell also.
the earlies can be around 9-11 weks when both sacks will show or one large sack with 2 distinct heart beats!!!
