Ana, thanks for posting this. My hcg levels are slowing too it was 240. Then 1844 5 days later then 2500 4 days after that. I'm supposed to be 6w yesterday when I went to er with spotting. Doc said he saw sac but no heartbeat. He said it was still early and that I should rest from work and go back on Tuesday for a follow up. I'm trying to stay positive but it's really hard. Gad to hear the good news for you.

You have given me a glimmer of hope! I am 44 have had one successful pregnancy, 2mc and now 6-7 wks prego! My LMC was July 2nd and had hcg checked on Aug 11th and it was 3449. I then had an us on Aug 19th and saw a fetal pole. The dr thought he saw some flickering but wasn't sure said I could be ealier than 6wk 6days and sent me for a blood test. My hcg was 7220. I went again on the 17th and it was 8121. It is slowly climbing but they are concerned and so am I. I have been battling with the prayers, not getting upset over something I have no control over, getting excited and then depressed because I fear another mc. I have another u/s tomorrow and am praying that we hear a heartbeat. Even if we do I will still worry as my last mc we had a hb and then lost it. So pour on the prayers!
