Rising HCG, but no baby?...

Amanda
I had an ultrasound at 7w, but found an empty sac measuring only 5w, which I don't see possible because I am 100% positive on my dates. I had HCG levels drawn, which were 23,000 and then 28,000 2d later. My doctor said it was an early miscarriage, although I've had no symptoms, and ordered another ultrasound to confirm. After a week I insisted on another HCG level, and it was 43, almost 44,000. I now have to wait 2 more weeks for an ultrasound because that was the first appointment they had available. I'm praying for a positive outcome, but I've had zero pregnancy symptoms either and would/should be 9 weeks tomorrow 😬
