Should I be worried?

I had an extremely irregular period last month that started early and lasted two weeks with only spotting but two heavier days on the 6th and 7th of January so I've been using that as my LMP. My period is usually about 33 days. I saw the doctor for a routine exam on the 18th and was told that I had recently ovulated (which confused me because it was only 10-11 days since my supposed last period). On the 8th of February I tested positive for pregnancy and again on the 11th. I had an u/s on the 13th which dated the pregnancy at 4w 6d (again, confusing if I ovulated before the 18th). The gestational sac measured at 2mm so the doctor scheduled another ultrasound for the 27th of Feb. On the night of the 19th I noticed a tiny bit of brown on the tissue when I wiped so naturally I called the doctor who had me come in today for another check. This time I was really confused! The u/s now shows 2 gestational sacs! The only problem is that the first sac (which is slightly larger than the second) is still only measuring 2mm a week later! both sacs are too small to see anything so the doctor ordered blood tests which I am currently waiting for the results for. So my question is, is this a common experience? Is the lack of growth of the first sac because now there are two? I am so worried right now but the doctor said everything looked normal, no blood, no extra fluid, good endometrium and placement of the sacs, long and closed cervix, just the gestational sac measuring the same as last week. She said it's not bad, but its not good either. Any information would be so appreciated. Thank you

Sadly this story has ended. Turns out it was an ectopic with a pseudo gestational sac intrauterine.. I had to have emergency surgery and lost my left tube.
