"thought" he "may" have seen the beginnings of a gestational sac, but said he couldn't be for certain. He did an u/s on 2/18 (I was exactly 6 wks by LMP but by O date I was less than 5 wks) and dr. Here are my labs: 2/7 9 DPO HCG=94.7 Progesterone 19.6 2/9 11 DPO HCG=210.7 (more than doubled in 48 hours) 2/12 Started Crinone 8% due to history of low progesterone with last 2 pg's and 1st pg ended in m/c reason unknown 2/18 19 DPO HCG=855.1 (took 4.4 days to double) Because my levels were slow rising but not doubling from 2/11 to 2/18, dr. I am 6 wks 3 days pg by LMP of 1/8/08 however I always ovulate late in my cycle, and suspected I did on CD 21, which would have been 1/29. I'm so thankful that I found this board! I too am in a similary situation. Has anyone had those tests done? My husband really thinks we should. She also wants me to get tested for birth defects. (fingers crossed) Today May 1st Im 8 weeks. I did start to spot a little on and off a couple weeks ago and had some cramping but so far everything is ok. Dr said I can still miscarry at any time, not to get my hopes up. She told me the baby is still growing to wait another week and come back. This time they found a heatbeat and the beginning of the spine. I called my dr and she told me to come in for another U/S. I waited for a week and nothing happened. The dr called and told me I will be miscarring. I went back that next day and tested my hcg level again and it only went up 10%. I had an U/S done and they found the sac. Ive had 2 miscarriage before to I went to the ER to get checked out. Thank you for the reminder of where my thoughts, beliefs, and actions need to be. Its a little much and I try to keep telling myself God won't give me more than I can handle but right now I was starting to feel like it is more than I can handle.then I read your post. My husband and I had already decided to get away this weekend and grieve the loss of our unborn baby and now they want me to do another ultrasound. I trust God I really do but right now I just want it to clear. I go in for another ultrasound next week. The doctors expect a miscarriage but aren't sure why my levels are still rising slowly. I keep praying for God to give clear answers but they just get more confusing. I was not supposed to be able to get om there though it has been low progesterone, low hcg levels, slow rising hcg levels, and two ultrasounds with no heartbeat.

I sit here on the roller coaster of life asking God what is he doing. I know your comment was meant for someone else but I want you to know it reached me today.
