I got a + pg test on Nov 3, hadnt had a period since having my dd in Oct2003, so they had me come in Nov 4 to check my hcg, it was 17,000. they had me come in 4 days later (nov8, monday) for a vag. u/s which revealed a sac measuring 6w5d but it was totally empty. they thought it was a blighted ovum, but wanted me to come back for a following u/s a week later...I cancelled that appt and made it for TWO weeks later just to give things a chance to develop if there WAS something there. At that appt. there was a healthy baby with a heartbeat of 175 and I measured 7w6d pregnant!!!
Just wanted to share my story =)
