Hi ladies, I had gotten my bfp but things aren't turning out so well. 
I had my first appt yesterday at 6w, 5d. They did hcg blood work and an ultrasound. My hcg levels were 22,000. My ultrasound revealed a yolk sac, but no baby (or "fetal pole.") The ultrasound tech said my gest sac looked to be about 5w, 5d and they'd likely send me back in a week for another. That made sense to me bc my cycles were sometimes irregular. When we went back to the midwife, she said we likely had a "missed AB," that there's no way my hcg could be that high without seeing a baby and that it likely wasn't viable. She offered to schedule me for a d&c. We were shocked and didn't make a decision yet. Tomorrow I'm supposed to get my hcg levels taken again. If they go up, id like another US next week. If they go down, I guess we have some decisions to make.
I'll likely be joining you in this thread again soon.
