I had a similar experience, except I ended up with a sad ending, not the happy ending you describe. My doctor found the same sac, but no heartbeat and by my calculations I should have been 8 weeks along. He waited 2 more weeks, did another ultrasound and still nothing. I wasn't sure on the dates though so I wanted to wait to have a DNC. I still hadn't had any bleeding. A week later I had another ultrasound and still nothing. The blood tests were what gave me hope because the level was very high and wasn't budging. The doctor said that although the signs weren't all there, it looked like for some reason the baby had stopped developing. So 5 office visits, 3 lab visits, and 3 ultrasounds later...and we all know that those aren't cheap...I finally started bleeding the weekend before my DNC was scheduled. If I had just waited and let nature take its course rather than let the doctors run every test they could I could have saved myself a lot of stress and money! Glad to hear things are going better for you! After the miscarriage, we waited 3 months before trying again so this month will hopefully hold a better result for me too!
