I'M GOING CRAZY!! HELP!!

I found out I was preggers.  The nurse wanted me to get Beta quants 72 hors apart. The levels were 572 and then 2462 - quadrupled instead of doubled! Levels were rising quickly so had an ultrasound to make sure it was not ectopic. Not ectopic and the Dr. thinks it's about 5 weeks if she had to guess. Cannot see much of anything but she did see what appeared to be a sac and then a few more (3-5) sacs of the same size near by (but not clustered yet). She said those could be blood-filled sacs of the egg trying to bury itself in the uterus, which is normal (but no common), it could be multiples, or it could be a molar pregnancy (which is also rare).  My uterus is normal (golf-ball size) for 5 weeks but my elevated hcg levels coupled with the extra "sacs" make her think it could be a molar pregnancy. She says has no feeling one way or the other (normal, multiples, or molar), but she did give me a pamphlet about molar pregnancies, which, in turn, makes me think that she thinks it's molar.  I still have to wait 2 more weeks for another ultrasound but I am about to go crazy. I have not had any bleeding and feel nothing of the pregnancy except that I have to use the bathroom often. I am also currently breast feeding full-time to our 13 month old son. Every blog I've read about others with molar or suspected molar pregnancies have had much higher hcg levels than i do at this same stage.  Does anyone have any advice on this?  Anyone gone through something similar?  Please pray for me (peace of mind) and this pregnancy!

Your Hcg levels this early can double in a 48 hr period so it's not excessivley high.  I read on a thread that another women had high lvls and there was nothing wrong that was just how she was.  Also those lvls are normal for a multipe pregnancy, I hope everthing works out for you and it's everything you want.  Let us know how things work out for you.
