Pregnant with lots of questions

I am 19, I recently found out that I am pregnant. I have always had irregular periods, but I know for a fact that I concieved in January. I went to the Dr. on February 17 and had an internal ultrasound done, alls that was visible was a small dot. I was not given a due date or told how far along I was, he told me that I was too early to determine. The Dr decided to wait on all of my blood tests and asked me to come back in two weeks for another internal ultrasound. Two weeks later (March 3) my fiance and I went back for another internal ultrasound and it was very clear that the dot had gotten a lot bigger in size, but I still was not given a due date or told how far I was, once again the Dr asked me to return in two more weeks and held off on all blood tests. I felt that I was not being told enough information so I decided to check out some other Dr's available in town. I had an appointment and ultrsound done with a different Dr on March 8. That morning I had an HCG test done which came back around 9,200. After the blood test I proceeded with the ultrasound. The ultrasound technition took a lot more time in explaining to my fiance and I what everything was. She explained and pointed out the gestational and yolk sacs to us. She measured my yolk sac at 6 weeks 2 days. She was not able to locate a fetus in the sac, and no heartbeat was detected. The Dr informed us that I would miscarry in the next 2 weeks, which is not something I was not expecting to hear. He wants me to come back in  2 more weeks for another ultrasound. Wednesday I went back to the Dr to have another HCG test done and my levels only went up 200 (so they were around 9,400). I have read that levels are suapose to double within that time. My question is if there is anyone that has had this problem. This is my first pregnancy so I dont know what to expect and I am soo confused. I have read so many stories on the internet that a lot of the time this happens and eventually a baby is found. Is there any advice someone can please give me?

Thanks..as far as I know they are not going to do another blood test. The Dr's have me so upset over all of this. I have already checked out another Dr, but my fiance and I just agreed tonight that I am going to have further tests done out at the Univeristy of Iowa hospitals. I just hope everything comes back ok. This is a terrible feeling!

Wow with numbers that high you should definitely see a heartbeat but some babies start out a little slower than normal and can catch up. Most of the time this is not the case. Your numbers should definitely be doubling every 2-4 days. I would definitely keep the appointment with doctor and hope for the best. Are they going to do another blood draw?
