miscarriage of twin mistaken for subchorionic hematoma?

what does the ultrasound look like? i was diagnosed with subchorionic hematoma during the first trimester pregnant with my daughter and wondering if it was really miscarriage of a twin. during the episode of heavy bleeding and clots when i went to the hospital i could have sworn that one of the clots came out and contained a small peanut looking object in it that was light colored...it came out in the toilet and i didnt want to investigate because at the time i believed that i was having a complete miscarriage and was too upset to actually look closely at it if it was the baby, i was still upset from the miscarriage i had previous to this pregnancy....well, turned out that my little girl was still there and her heart was beating but very slowly and they didnt think she would make it...she did make it and is perfect...but im always curious if it could have been a misdiagnosis and wasn't really subchorionic hematoma? there was a dark area on the ultrasound that kept shrinking over time....or would they be able to tell for sure on the ultrasound if this was a miscarriage of twin? it doesnt really matter either way now, but i am just curious... ↓

I just had a miscarriage of a twin the weekend of Memorial Day this year and at the time I thought I was miscarrying all together. When they did the u/s at the er, they told me I had an empty sac (blighted ovum), they kept me overnight as I was bleeding heavily, clots and tons of bright red blood. The next morning they did another scan to see how much tissue was left, and there was a perfectly healthy little bean! There was no evidence at all of the vanished twin that they saw the night before. My hormone levels were extremely high and that is how they knew for sure I had miscarried a twin. I am now almost 15 weeks along and everything is going great. Did your docs ever check your hcg levels? If they were high at the time of the loss it could have been a vanishing twin? I am sorry to hear that you lost one of your babies, but glad to hear you have a wonderful daughter. ↑
