Anyone early scan been wrong?

Had an early scan last week which suggested I was 6 weeks and one baby. I’ve been admitted to hospital due to sickness and they have said they want to scan me as my HCG level is showing I’m either further along or could be having multiple pregnancies. Has anyone ever had a scan and the second twin been missed?

Hey ladies, we want to do a private gender scan so our first can be apart of the experience. We didn’t get one with our first. The Window to the womb sheffield has very limited dates & only shows one date per month. What clinics would you recommend & at how many weeks did you book it? x
