Pregnant after IF

First scan two sacks one heart beat

hello
Today was a very mixed day! We had our first scan at 6 weeks from FET of 2 embryos
Today we saw our one little love and saw the heart beat flicker and a fetal pole.
Unfortunately the other sack was empty it had developed a yolk but was abnormally shaped and called 'non viable'.
I was told I might bleed but the progesterone may stop it and there is a tiny risk of it impacting the other one! But that was very small and the baby was looking perfect.
In one breathe I am so happy this is an absolute dream come true and I have so much gratitude to be carrying this baby.
Although I also feel a saddness over the second one and that has darkened the day, I am giving myself the space to grieve this little one. No matter how small and how short it was my baby for a while and it hurts to kit be able to carry it longer. My family are so excited! This is our first and the first grand baby all round!
So mixed emotion I am giving both my focus and attention today and letting the happiness and sadness sink in!!
Has anyone else had a scan?
