[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not do IVF, if that's relevant.  I went in a little over 6 weeks and the U/S showed an empty sac, so the doc suggested a blood test to check my hormone levels, and then I went back the next day for a 2nd test (assume this is betas they are checking?).  She called the next day to say the numbers had not risen as they should have, and was pretty dismal sounding.  This was on a Friday.  She suggested I come in on Monday to check again.  Over the weekend I prepared my list of questions about miscarriage and went in Monday to talk about that.  She said "let's just check with an U/S again" and imagine both of our surprise when we saw a flickering heartbeat (who is now 2-1/2 years old).  So yes, I think there is hope.  Good luck to you![/quote]

Congrats, that's wonderful.
Just as it's important to not give false hope, however, it's important to not make false comparisons. The situation you are describing is really different than OP's - she doesn't have the same dismally rising betas as it sounds like you did; furthermore, it is not super common to experience what you and the next poster did.[/quote]
