A empty sac and a sac with a yolk

I had an ultrasound today because I had a lot of pain the past few days.  I had an UDI infection and had it removed. I read that I was high risk for a tubal pregnancy.  Well the ultrasound showed the sac with in the right place with a yolk.  There wasn't a heartbeat but she said it may be to early.  She also saw an empty sac beside the one with the yolk.  She said it may have been a twin that didn't develope.  Has this happened to anyone?  Is there a possibility that the sac could develop?

There is a phenomenon called Vanishing Twin in which a woman conceives twins or the egg splits but one of the twins disappears and is absorbed back into her body. Scientists are now looking into this theory that left-handed people are the result of a vanishing twin scenerio because of an egg splitting and leaving only one behind (the left-handed one).

You're still so early that it is possible you could have twins and the one just didn't have a yolk sac yet. But don't get your hopes up or be disappointed if that doesn't happen.
