Vanishing twin? Feeling like there is another baby still

At 7 weeks I went in for an emergency ultrasound because I was having some light spotting and they diagnosed me with a SCH. I was also told I was having twins. They found a heart beat on both of them super strong. Twin a measured 7 w 1 day & twin B measured 6 weeks 2 days. They both were looking good and strong. I came back for my second ultrasound at 8 weeks which was the following week and the tech told me she couldn’t find a heartbeat and told me the second twin had vanished. She also told me I have a tilted uterus so it was hard to find things even with vaginal ultrasound. Nothing would show on the abdominal ultrasound. I went in for another ultrasound abdominal at an outside place to try to get some more answer in between and she found one healthy baby and said the other sac looks like it is getting smaller. I for some reason cannot shake that there is another baby but it is hidden (possibly a third one). She said that my uterus is retroflexed and all my intestines are in the way of everything. I see that dark spot in the blue I circled and I wonder if that could be anything. I had a vivid dream that two healthy babies were kicking my stomach and my husband and I were give a prophetic message about twins being in the family. I have this gut feeling another one is hiding. I can’t shake it, but I’m also like am I just having trouble letting go of the thought of our twins? Does anyone have any experience with a tilted uterus and hidden babies? I am so happy to have one healthy baby, but my heart also longs for the other one. It’s a strange feeling. Twins run in my side of the family with a few sets on my mom’s side. My nausea and food aversions have been awful and I am showing a ton to be 11 weeks. I go in for a transvaginal ultrasound next week so maybe I’ll get more clarity.

Vanishing twin - need some hope

Hello,

At 7 weeks I went in for an emergency ultrasound because I was having some light spotting and they diagnosed me with a SCH. I was also told I was having twins. They found a heart beat on both of them super strong. Twin a measured 7 w 1 day & twin B measured 6 weeks 2 days. They both were looking good and strong. I came back for my second ultrasound at 8 weeks which was the following week and the tech told me she couldn’t find a heartbeat and told me the second twin had vanished. She also told me I have a tilted uterus so it was hard to find things even with vaginal ultrasound. Nothing would show on the abdominal ultrasound due to that. I am currently 11 weeks and they didn’t want to see me back until 3 weeks later. Is it normal for the tech to tell you about the loss over a doctor? For some reason I thought a doctor would need to confirm it.

Photo one is the day we found out it was twins.
Photo 2 is from the second ultrasound showing baby b “that vanished”
Photo 3 is baby a zoomed in also at the second ultrasound.

I am praying for a miracle and I really don’t want to accept the report that I was given. I am looking to get a second opinion. Is there any chance maybe my tilted uterus affected this? Maybe the other baby is just growing a little more ahead? I’m not sure. I will be 12 weeks at my next appointment and I am just praying for a God given miracle. Please pray 🤍

Other than that I have had a great pregnancy but the morning sickness and food aversions have been awful.
