You are going ot have to wait for the ultrasound to get an answer -- but your doc is right, you could just be earlier than you thought. I know how hard the waiting is, having had 2 blighted ovum, a perfect daughter, and then a recent 8 week miscarriage. I am the queen of waiting another week to "see how things look"
