Re: gestational sac size in relation to crown rump length

In case anyone comes upon this topic in their search of the archives I
wanted to give an update:
I had my hcg levels checked and they were dropping so I went ahead with
the d&c without re-doing the ultrasound. The fetus was , in fact, not
living. I I am hoping to get pregnany again as soon as possible.
