8 weeks measuring 6

Hi I am supposed to be 8 weeks preganat but went for my first US two weeks ago and they couldn't find a heart beat. Had blood test and my levels were 22,000. Went for a second US last week and there it was the fetal pole and the heart beat my HCG levels keeo going up last week they were at 32,500. The HB was low though around 80. I am going for another US this week. The Dr said I am measuring 6 wks instead of 8. I am so nervous about this not sure what to think, could the baby catch up or would this mean I am going to MC?help I can't sleep...

Went for an US and the tech didn't tell me anything is so frustrating. i called and requested for the Dr to tell me more. They say they wish they could tell me more but they can't. They see viability but at the same time they are very concerned. The HB still slow. They also acknowledge that this could change for the better and that the next US will tell us more. This is so frustrating and stressful....I AM BEYOND AFRAID...and extremely sad...

If u levels r going up that's good u could just not be as far along as ur period would make u that's always possible. I'm pregnant with my third & should be close 2 8wks but my ultra sound friday the 27th had me right at 6wks. So I would worry about it. Good luck.
