thanks guys :) it can be a relief that i have someone out there to share my fear and confusion. i will keep you posted
My friend had weekly ultrasounds starting at 6 weeks and did see a heartbeat until 9 weeks, but there was growth between each ultrasound and she wanted to wait and her doctor was fine with it.
I agree with all that Heather said. Wait and get one more. It's always better to make sure before making any decisions. I do wish you well.
I'm so sorry to hear of the lack of heartbeat and low HCG. By 7 weeks, the heartbeat should be visible on an ultrasound...but I wouldn't give up yet. Make sure you get another ultrasound in a week or so. Hopefully your little bean is just a little bit behind and all will look good next week.
Sorry... correction, i was ligated 13 yrs ago.
