OBGYN confirmed preg.but preg test and ultrasound negative

Hello everyone,
This one of the saddest days and morning that I have experienced in my life. I am in total disbelief the way my day went yesterday. So here is the story , my husband and I have decided to have kids after being very happily married for 2+ years this was our first try to make a baby.After we tried within 2 week I was showing some symptoms although not all (weak and being extremely tired).After reading many posts on this site and many other sites I was getting convinced I could be  pregnant. I calculated that if the first day of my period is 04/26/2009 (and I have irregular periods)  the best time  I could test would right after a month. I brought a Preg.Test on 05/26/2009 and tested in the afternoon which was to my surprise negative. I was upset for a long time because I was never sure of anything in my life as I had been for that I was preg. After waiting for that week I scheduled my OBGYN appointment and went to dr’s office on the 05/29/2009 they tested me negative again. I thought to myself it would be too soon. They scheduled me to come back in 2 weeks .I went back this week that is 06/09/2009.I went to the dr’s office with so much dilemma and nurse tested my urine and to my utmost surprise she said I was pregnant. I was so happy and I called my husband to tell him the news. We both were so happy.
My Dr. came in and did a pelvic exam and she confirmed me to be pregnant between 6-8 weeks and prescribed me ultrasound and blood test.
I went for my ultrasound close to my house yesterday(06/11/2009) and the ultrasound  technician said that she could not see anything at all and told me the complications like ectopic pregnancy etc.I was crying like a little girl when I am 29 years old and could not sleep last night even for second. My husband adviced in the middle of the night just to make you we will do pregnancy test so that you can sleep atleast.We did urine test(CVS brand test, I took a cheap one because I was so confident of testing positive) and you know what I tested negative (I felt like world has come to an end).I cried myself all night and couldn’t sleep because my babies face was all in my dreams. I am so upset, confused, disheartened, doubtful and gamut of emotions that I have ever experienced. I feel worthless .Please help /advice me. I am going for my blood test in an hour’s time. I don’t know what to do till I get my tests back.
Here are my questions
1. Am I really pregnant (I am trying to get emergency appointment with my OBGYN) I have symptoms like (boobs painful, massive breast ,Dark areolas,tiredness,mood swings,nauseau but actual no throwing up etc)
2. Could urine test at dr’s office be wrong because that is the only place I tested positive.
3. Could dr’s be wrong (or confused with something else) in the pelvic exams.
4. Did I go for the ultrasound too soon?(is it normal to go between 6&8 weeks)
5. Could my dr have calculated the weeks wrong?

Like I said, it could be too soon for you to even see anything yet. When I went in for my 5 week u/s they did not see anything... I don't know if you have read my other post, but  when I went in for my 6 week, the doctor found 4 heartbeats and he thinks there might be a fifth. I'm sure you just ovulated late. The latest you might have ovulated would be around the  20-23 of May (based on a long cycle and based off of the ovulation calculator). If that is the case then you might not be that far along for the pregnancy to be seen in the u/s yet. Good luck.... By the way, can't the nurse give you the hcg numbers so you don't have to wait 4 days?

I went for the blood test now, and going for a transvaginal u/s again at 2pm(06/12/2009).I am really hoping a miracle works for me this time.Please include me in your prayers and thoughts.

Hello, it could be that you ovulated later than you expected. If that's the case then you are not as far along as you thought to be. My LMP was April 27 but I was on fertility drugs and that causes a very exact ovulation date which was May 11. Your ovulation could have been after that and you may not be as far along as you think to be. When I went in for my 5 week u/s they did not see anything. I am barely 6 1/2 weeks so how can they calculate you at 6-8 weeks? You could probably be about 6 weeks but I don't think you are 7 or 8 weeks. Don't worry, your levels are probably just very low. Good luck and keep me updated.
