just want to let you know; pretty much the same thing happened to my mom
about 5 years back when she was pregnant with my youngest brother. Home
pregnancy tests said she was pregnant, went to the doctor and they told
her she wasn't and it may have been a miscarriage and wanted to induce
an abortion. My mother is completely against abortion and wanted to
stick to her gut and wait.... she went back into her doctor months
later and guess what appeared? a heartbeat, there was in fact a baby who
is now my healthy adorable 5 year old brother.
So just be careful, i would say get a second opinion.
