I should be about 6 weeks along. Due to being friends with my OB she decided to have my blood drawn and my HCG on Wed was 363 and prog was 10. Had f/u lab work on Fri and HCG was 416 and prog went down to 8.5..so they had me come in for an U/S but couldn't see anything yet. They are thinking I am having a misscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. I still have sore breasts, going to the bathroom all the time and nausea...so no signs of a misscarriage. I go back on Mon for more blood work and another U/S on Wed....I'm so scared! Advice please!!

Hi everyone, I am new to this...but have found it very useful reading all your posts. Thank you very much for sharing! I am 31yrs old and my husband and I are trying to get pregnant. I came off the pill in March, and had a normal period in April, and in May I missed my period. Excited I took 3 HPT's spread across several days but all came back negative. I then went to the doc and he did a blood test. My first result came back low positive of 31. Then 5 days later did another one and it was 329. My Doctor thinks I should be 6-weeks along (based on my last period) and therefore my HCG's should be above 1,000 by now, therefore he fears I may have a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy! Could this be true?? Maybe he is calculating the start date of my period wrong? And I am only 4-weeks along? I did an internal-Ultrasound yesterday and they couldn't see much expect a small 2.6mm diameter sac. Any thoughts on whether my pregnancy will make it?
