DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE. Belief and hope can do wonderful things. Get serial quatitative HCGs and ultrasounds once the levels are high enough to see a pregancy on ultrasound. Get your progesterone level checked -- NOW -- and supplement if it is low. Tell that little spirit every day how much you want it to stay with you

Oh, Elizabeth, thank you -- you made me cry. All I want now is to see your baby's picture on this site in early 1999!!!
