A member asked:

Always possible: The transvaginal ultrasound at 7.5 weeks does not rule in or out a chromosomal abnormality. It is believed that there are a lot more twins conceived than born and one twin just dies very early and this may be the cause of some first trimester bleeding. Only with early ultrasounds are we finding these 'vanishing twins'. This may be the case with your empty yolk sac. The other twin is usually normal
