It's unfortunate that your doctor cannot arrange for a timely sonogram.
With intercourse ONLY on the days you stated, you should certainly be
further along. If the first sono is correct, it unfortunately doesn't
look promising. You need to address your concerns to your doctor.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
