6 week ultrasound (image) - thoughts? panicking! :(

Hi everyone!

due to some scary bleeding and horrific cramping on Tuesday, I was sent for an early scan on Wednesday morning. By dates, I'm 6+1, the scan puts me at 6+3 today - so not far off!

However after the initial relief/joy of the nurse telling me that baby is healthy (she even saw a little flicker of a heartbeat!) and that bubs is in the right place, she fell silent. When I asked what the problem was - she said she saw two yolk sacs?! But only one fetal pole and only one heartbeat. My local EPAU is notoriously frantic so she didn't have time to explain what that meant in detail, just dismissed me with 'it's too early to tell' and booked a rescan in two weeks. Anyone have any experience of this? I know the only way to know for sure what's happening will be to wait two weeks, but I'm so worried that something awful has happened that I just wanted an idea of what I'm likely to expect at the next scan. Is it twins? Or just a blip on the scan? If I've got two buns in the oven, are things looking bleak for the surprise bundle of utter joy? I'm so frightened and stressed right now, I can barely think of anything else :(

I've (tried to!) attach the (admittedly grainy!) image - had to sneak a photo quickly while the nurse was out typing the report! ;)

Let me know what you think ladies!!

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 9 months xxx
