Pregnancy Info HOME

I just read through all the posts and my heart, hugs and prayers go out to all of you. I felt like I was living through the waiting and pain with each of you. My situation is different from any of the others out there, so I'm still really puzzled. My HCG numbers are low, and not rising very significantly: 1746 (Monday), 2253 (Wednesday), and 2380 (Friday). Tomorrow, I will be 8 weeks. My doctor is not very hopeful or encouraging that this pregnancy will make it. But the u/s (at 7.5 weeks) showed a nice yolk sak and a small bump that looked like the beginning stages of an embryo, but no heartbeat yet. The puzzling thing that seems different from everything I've read on here is that I feel great! Absolutely no spotting and no cramping, just occasional stretching/ligament pulling type of thing. If I were going to lose this baby, wouldn't I be feeling poorly by now? Has anyone ever heard of a successful pregnancy in which the HCG levels were rising, but not doubling? I'm grateful for ANY comments while we're playing the waiting game. Prayers to all you mommies!...
