Wow greg and shannon you both had a scare there im so glad that you went and got a second opinion i hope every thing is well and you get that dumb doctor, but i do have a little issue of my own that if anyone could help that would be great. I havent had a period in two months i have all the signs of being pregnant and i have taken 6 home tests and they are all negative im going to get the hcg blood work done but if i did calaulate it right i would be 9 weeks and wouldnt you think that the hcg level would be high enough to read a positive me and my husband are lost and just dont know what to do and for about 4 days now i have been having some mild to sever cramping and it comes and goes but NO bleeding if anyone has any suggestions please let me know thank you!!!

I am experiencing a similar situation right now. My hubby and I already have 3 little girls, ages 5, 4, and 2. I took a pregnancy test last week, and it turned positive quicker than any test I had taken with my other 3 pregnancies. We were shocked because we didn't plan on having more kids, but we're really happy and excited now. I had no idea how far along I might be, because I've still been having what I thought were periods. So, they did an ultrasound and it showed a perfect little sack with a blood supply, but they couldn't see a baby. Well, the doctor said that from feeling my abdomen, I'm only 3 or 4 weeks pregnant, so it's normal that you wouldn't be able to see the baby yet. But over the past 6 days, they keep checking my hormone levels and they said that they aren't rising like they should be. The day of the ultrasound the levels were 650, 2 days later it was 980, and today it was 1160. I didn't think there was anything to worry about, but the doctor and his nurse seem so negative about it. I'm trying to stay positive, but I'm really worried. They are going to do an ultrasound next Wednesday, (in 5 days), so wish me luck!!
