I found out I was pregnant on 23 February however started spotting and cramping on 12 March so went to epu for an early scan on Friday 15 March where we were told (and shown) an empty gestational sac measuring 22mm. I believed I was 6+6 at this stage. There was evidence of a bleed inside the sac and it was collapsing. They asked me to return for a second scan today as they couldn't confirm a miscarriage at that stage but told me to prepare for the worst and that if probably start to miscarry naturally.
I've continued to have pregnancy symptoms but put that down to my body not recognising that the pregnancy was failing.
Went back to the epu today and there is a pregnancy sac with a yolk sac and foetal pole measuring 5 weeks. They believe this is a new pregnancy and it was too early last time to see it. Definitely dtd early March, but I was technically 5 weeks pregnant then and did a clearblue digital that said 3+ weeks on Monday 4th March (wanted to check it was progressing OK)
So I conceived whilst still technically pregnant? I know that there is something called superfetation but it's very rare and has been found in twin pregnancies and there was only one sac today (absolutely no sign of the empty, collapsing sac, so I maybe absorbed it?)
Has anyone heard of this before? The staff were in just as much shock as we were. I had mentally prepared myself for needing surgery. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I can't get my head around this?
