Jacy, Given the HCG levels of 32 on a Wednesday followed by a 104 on the ensuing Friday would imply an early healthy pregnancy, certainly not conceived when you thought. This is very early but would imply a late ovulation. As for the health of this pregnancy, that will obviously remain to be seen. As for not seeing the pregnancy yet on ultrasound, that does not surprise me... Lynn
