Help please---Healthy Baby?

My last menstual period started on 1/3/11, I dont know if my baby is ok.  My hormone levels are not increasing normally. The resuts thus far are as follows:

Hormone Testing

2/10/11: 1650 Hcg
2/12/11: 1862 Hcg
2/14/11: 3291 Hcg
2/16/11: 4290 Hcg
2/17/11: 5605 Hcg
2/22/11: waiting for results

Ultrasounds:
2/10/11: 2 sacs found, one in uterus, one inferior to right ovary, no free fluid in Morrison's Pouch.
2/17/11: yolk located inside the sac in Uterus and sac found inferior to ovary determind to be a hemorragic cyst, Morrison's Pouch not checked.
2/22/11: doc stated that the sac in uterus looks larger, cannot see clear picture of baby, scheduled ultrasound for 2/24/11.

What does all this mean, no one can give me a due date, blood test every 2 days but only seems to significantly increase every 3-4 days, ultrasound tech found yolk sac and doc expected to see baby on 2/22/11....how far along am I? Is this normal? Do have reason to be concerned? Please help...has anyone gone through this before?

They have not said anything about the progesterone level. I dont know if they have checked it. Is that something that I should ask the OB about at my next appointment? Thank you for responding. My husband walked out the door right before i found out I was pregnant and I dont even have a number to contact him or know where he is living. I didnt realize how hard it was going to be to even get questionable results from the doctor by myself.

hCG is different for everyone. Technically the rule is that it needs to rise 60% every 48-72 hours though doctors like to see it double every 2 days. Have they checked your progesterone levels (many doctors will check this along with the hCG). A level under 15-20 would need supplements.

I personally believe that with all our hormone-injected foods there are more fertility and hormonal issues (like not having enough progesterone to sustain a pregnancy).

Slow-rising hCG does not necessarily mean miscarriage. Let us know what happens!
