Vanishing Twin?

I posted earlier about being 7.4 weeks pregnant. The baby has a heartbeat but my uterus has a pool of blood plus more blood and some clots throughout. I am not having any miscarriage symptoms. My doc said the pool was a placenta. I'm leary with that because I did Clomid and ultrasounds for timed HCG and had one 20mm follicle. One thing I failed to mention in my last post was that my doctor pointed out the good, solid implantation attachment. (One respondent questioned placenta detachment.)

My questions:

1. With seeing only one mature follicle, could I have possibly released two eggs?

2. Looking at other ultrasounds of vanishing twins on the internet, they do not have a uterus full of blood, just a placenta getting smaller. Why would mine be a pool of blood instead of a formed placenta? Is this normal?

3. I've run across brief suggestions that vanishing twin syndrome is a higher risk for cerebral palsey. Any thoughts?

4. What else could this blood be from?

5. I have a 16-month old. Could I have done damage by playing with her too rough--running, wrestling, picking her up?

Thank you so much for your help and insight!
