Default Still pregnant or not? hcg level only decrease by 100? miscarry twin only?

Is it possible to miscarry a twin at 6 weeks and have another aged 5
weeks survive the whole process? Sometimes I naturally ovulate from
both sides in a cycle and intercourse did happen 8 days after the
first so it may be a possibility. Friday spotting began, Saturday an
exam showed HcG at 7600. I should have been at 6 weeks 5 days but the
ultrasound aged a sac 5 weeks 2 days high in the uterus and the cervix
was slightly open with membrane like tissue near it. The next day
Sunday I really think I miscarried and passed a quarter size piece of
tissue. Monday the ob/gyn saw me and did no examination of any kind.
He said he did think the tissue was a product of pregnancy but didn't
send it to lab. He only said to wait and that many women bleed and
cramp in early pregnancy. I am scheduled for an ultrasound in 11
days. Wednesday I begged for at least an HcG test. The results
showed that in the last 4 days past what I believe was a miscarry the
level went from 7600 to 7500. This doesn't sound right to me.
Shouldn't the level go down farther by now? Could there be a chance
the sac on the ultrasound is still there and another embryo not
visible on the ultrasound had passed? Wouldn't the HcG go up in that
4 days if there was still a pregnancy and if not why only go down 100?
If there is still a progressing pregnancy why did my symptoms like
breast soreness lessen? I should just be patient and wait until next
week but it is driving me crazy not knowing if I already lost the baby
or not. In the mean time I continue to spot and cramp intermittently.
Is it unusual for the doctor to not do an ultrasound now to at least
confirm the sac is gone or still there? Anyone hear of this kind of
experience happening?
