Jennifer-first of all I am sorry about the fear you must be feeling right now. How far along are you? Just because they saw no heartbeat doesn't mean that all hope is lost. If you say that you saw a yolk sac that wasn't there last time you looke then maybe it is still too early to see the embryo and its heartbeat right now. Did they say if their was an embryo yet? Anyways, your hormone level can also fall and still not indicate a misscarriage. That is why all of us are chatting on this board-because without our supplemental progesterone, our hormone level drops. One very good indication if the pregnancy is continuing is the HCG level. It should rise every day and never fall. This is the hormone that directly corresponds with your embryo and its growth so if it stops increasing then the embryo has probablly stopped growing. Ask your doctor about your HCG level from this visit-I am sure they did one. Hopefully it will help you understand more, what is happening and hopefully give you hope. Good luck.
