I am so sorry- it does sound like you are having a miscarriage. For piece of mind, you can ask for 1 more ultrasound before having the dnc done, or you can wait to miscarry naturally since you are not very far along. i know you feel like your first doctor did something wrong, but from a medical perspective there is probably nothing that he or she could have done differently to save the pregnancy. A blighted ovum fails to develop properly, regardless of progesterone levels. I am glad that you have found a new doctor who takes you and your concerns seriously. It sounds as though she is being cautious in continuing to take hcg levels and wanting to confirm everything before making any decisions regarding a miscarriage.

My thoughts are with you. I myself have not experienced this, but there are so many women on here who have and can help you through this difficult time.
