Well we got back the numbers and at 6w4d from LMP, HCGh66, then 6w6d from LMP, HCG411. This is right on the 66% range that is quoted all over this forum. But it still does not explain the lack of yoke sac and fetal pole. She has an appointment friday for another ultrasound. My question is, with a pregnancy that forms a sac, but no embryo, do the hcg levels continue to rise eventhough there is no embryo/fetus? And if so for how long? Thanks, Scott
