triple pregnancy

I dont know if anyone out there would be able to help me....i am six weeks pregnant had a little spotting just once and that was it was worried so went to A & E and had a u/s 2 days ago and to my suprise three sacs where found two of which the fetal poles could be seen and with the third sac it was difficult to  see a fetal pole. i have been asked to come for another u/s in 10 days to confirm whether the fetal pole would be seen or is it a subchrionic collection or something like that...would really appreciate if anyone could throw some light on this....thanx

Hi!
That is fairly similar to what my first ultrasound looked like.  When I returned for the second scan there were three heart beats.  My boys are now three years old--yes, all three of them.  If not triplets, you may have twins--which is even better!
The fetal poles that were seen should have heart beats by the time you go for your next scan,  If the third sac is not a sac, but rather a subchorionic hemorrhage, it should show some signs of resolution by your next scan.
You may continue to have some more spotting--if it is dark or very light it is nothing to worry about--if it is heavy or bright red, you should call your doctor and get the next scan done sooner.
I wish you all the best!
