Hello, this is my first time on here. I'm 20 years old and pregnant. Please help!
I'll give you the run through... I have irregular periods, so tracking for me can be difficult. I found out that I am pregnant on 17th Nov 2022 with a faint but visible positive line. 5 days after finding out, I had slight cramping in my lower stomach (which lasted about 5 minutes) and felt like I was about to get my period, as it wasn't too painful or long, I passed it off as growing pains. The next day after the cramps (23rd Nov), I was sat at the dinner table when I suddenly felt a gush of blood run through my underwear and clothing (literally dripping), but it was only about 1 cups worth, it was fast and stopped immediately after I went to the toilet and cleaned myself up (no pain at all). I was under the impression I had had a miscarriage, so I didn't call 111 and thought to wait it out naturally. however, when the bleeding didn't return apart from some brown discharge, i kind of panicked. The next day after the gush (24th Nov) I woke up in the morning and took a pregnancy test, the lines were CRAZY DARK. Still under the impression i was having a miscarriage, i waited a few more days...i nothing but brown discharge and only little of it. on the 28th Nov, i took another pregnant test, and the lines were EVEN DARKER! I was shocked so I called my GP and explained everything, she referred me to an Early Pregnancy Unit for an internal scan. I went for my first scan on 30th Nov. The woman took a while looking but then said she saw 2 gestational sacs, and was zoomed in the most she possibly could. She said i have a twin pregnancy, one has a tiny fetus with a beating heart inside it measured at 3mm, but the other has nothing as of right now. the gestational sac that is empty is only a fraction smaller than the other. I thought I was at least 7/8weeks, but she told me i was measuring at 6weeks 1 day.
Is there any way that when i go back for my second scan in 2 weeks, that there will be a second fetus in the second GS? Did i find out i was pregnant very early? I really hope there is a second as i feel it's so magical to have twins.... please let me know your thoughts or if you know any success stories in my situation
