A member asked:

Is it possible to miscarry 1 twin and whilst pregnant with the other you hpt says negative even though it was positive when u were carrying two babies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Twin survival: It is possible for one twin to be aborted(miscarried) and the other survive, but usually the deceased twin stays in utero at an early embryonic stage. And is "resorbed." a serial(more than one ) beta HCG titer and ultrasound are done in these and similar circumstances to confirm an empty uterus.

Dr Sojico and another doctor agreed
