Subject: Cessation of pregnancy symptoms at 7.5 weeks

> One week ago today I took a home pregnancy test which came back
> positive.  The following day (Saturday) I experienced cramping and light
> bleeding.  I visited the ER, and the doctor performed a blood test and
> ultrasound.  They said I was 6.5 weeks pregnant, plus/minus 3 days.  My
> hcg level was 23,245 and they detected a fetal heartbeat.  This past
> Tuesday (three days after my ER visit) follow-up blood test showed hcg
> levels of 39,915.
>
> Today, three days after the second blood test, I don't feel pregnant at
> all.  Originally I experienced extreme breast tenderness, exhaustion,
> and mild queasiness.  Yesterday these feelings started lessening, today
> they are virtually gone.
>
> I'm really frightened.  Is it likely that I've miscarried? Is it normal
> to have "good" days and "bad" days? I'm 35 (in fact, today is my
> birthday) and this is my first ever pregnancy.
