no fetus at 6 wk 4days

I had a miscarriage last October and became pregnant again in February 99.  I was having pains so my doctor ordered blood test. On 3/3 my level was 794, on 3/5 it was 2015.  By this time the pains had stopped.  I went for an ultrasound on 3/9 - at which time I was 6wks and 4 days LMP. They saw a gestational sac which registered 4.6 weeks since conception.  They said either the baby wasn't developing or I was not as far along as they thought.  They also said the fact that the blood levels more than doubled doesn't necessarily mean that the pregnancy is progressing.  I am having another ultrasound next week, but this is really upsetting me.  I have absolutely no signs of being pregnant - no nausea, no breast tenderness, and I'm not even urinating as frequently as I was.  Is this a bad sign?  I am convinced that I have lost this baby too.  Please give some advice.
