Ultrasound of another pregnancy at same gestational age as above
This shows identical (monozygotic) twins - 1 gestational sac with 2 yolk sacs visible inside it
This results from an early embryo dividing into 2 genetically identical embryos

The vast majority of twins from assisted reproductive technology procedures are not "identical", but result from implantation of 2 embryos that were the result of fertilization of 2 different eggs, as shown in the ultrasound below.
