I can not believe I am reading this and am more than curious as to what
happened to you!! I just came from my doc because I am at what I thought
was 7 weeks preg. I've been having some spotting this week so asked my
doc to take a look. Turns out there are 2 gestational sacs but no
heartbeat. I actually thought I was even further along but now my doc
says only 5 and it could be a blighted ovum. I am devastated and just
want to scream.
