i went in for an ultrasound at 7 weeks, and there was a heartbeat, fetal pole and yolk sac. they said everything seemed fine. in the mean time, i got the results from hcg tests that were taken the previous week. they were 7039 at around 5 1/2 weeks, 9897 five days later and then 10, 852 three days later. the hcgs were taken prior to the ultrasound, but i am concerned that they did not rise appropriately. i am very stressed now and i know that is not doing the fetus any good. i know that the ultrasound is ultimately more important than the hcg tests, but does it mean that there is an impending miscarriage?
