So went for my 6 weeks scan today and expecting baby's heart beat but told too early. Told baby's growth is about 5 week and some days and that it was not unusual.

Two very good quality embryo implanted only one sac seen. I know I should be happy that at least there is a baby in there, but I was so heartbroken that one was not seen. Scan organised in 2 weeks time for an 8 weeks scan. I was going to go to the US this weekend but I have to cancel because we need to be sure that everything is ok on next scan.

My question, does anyone know whether it is still possible to have my twins even though only one sac seen at about 6 weeks pregnant? Did anyone hear baby heart beat at 6 weeks? Does anyone know whether airline will refund on ticket over important scan for pregnancy reasons and information on insurance for that?

I feel so weak and sad. But I feel like an ungrateful person crying over losing one of my embryos or the possibility of that, when I still have one assured growing strong in me.

Sorry I can't give any advice but just wanted to say I can understand why your feeling so upset but do keep positive. I was told last year I couldn't be scanned until 7/8 weeks because of hearing the heart beat. My clinic said scanning as early as 6 weeks often causes women more upset because the heartbeat isn't always detectable. Wishing you lots of luck for you next scan x

On the flight front, did you book with a credit card or do you have any travel insurance with banks etc? If the clinic can help give you a Drs note saying you need to be present for the next scan and travel is not advised for medical reasons maybe its enough for a claim?

It`s better to wait until another scan.

As said it`s too early term, so it`s hard to be sure about smth.

If you wish about possibility - ask those, who made your scan.

They have a huge practice, so an answer would be the most correct for you.

P.S.: hope they can`t saw another one only because of early term
