So much for HCG levels?! Happy news!!!

I posted a few questions over the last few days and you guys have been really awesome!

We went for what we thought was a 6 week sonogram last Thursday and heard no heartbeat, my pogesterone levels had dropped and the HCG levels were only creeping up.  Returned for more blood tests on Saturday and the levels had gone from 8800 (Thursday) to 9400 (Saturday).  The nurse told me it just didn't look good when she called.

We were very sad all weekend.   We went for another sonogram today, fully expecting to discuss D&C and alternatives to it.  Well, instead..we heard the heartbeat!!!  Yes, that's right!!!!  And the growth rate from last week to today was right on target.  So, I'm measuring at 6 weeks, although it's been 7 weeks since LMP.  Not sure what's going on...I'll just take the good news!!
