UPDATE!!

Just wanted to let you all know I had an u/s at 6 weeks and we saw a yolk sac!! (YEAH!!) and tested hcg levels again and they are normal so baby is fine :) They are gonna do another u/s around 7 1/2 8 weeks to see the baby and hb. Thank you all for sharing your stories w/me. I am just thankful baby is fine..
