Ping for my wife due in June. She might be able to shed some light on this.

Our prayers are with you.

Having suffered two miscarriages myself, I can tell you that HCG levels are very important. What also is important is the fetal heart rate (anything over 120 to 130 beats per minute is good). I had both miscarriages at 7 weeks. The first sign I experienced was bleeding or spotting. For the first, I did go in for a sonogram and there was a fetus there, however, the heart rate was very low (about 85 beats per minute) and the bleeding continued to get heavier. My second miscarriage is what they call a "blighted ovum." This is when there is a gestational sac present, but no fetal pole or embryo is present in the sac.

I really wish the best for you and your wife. God is the giver of life and I consider all my pregnancies a gift even though two never made it. However, I have hope that one day I will meet up with these children in heaven. By the way, I have 4 beautiful children so please never give up hope that God will indeed bless you and your wife with the gift of life! Best wishes!

Here are some links I got off hte net re: HCG levels in early pregnancy.

http://www.advancedfertility.com/earlypre.htm

http://www.bobrow.net/kimberly/birth/hcglevels.html

http://www.allaboutmoms.com/hcg.htm

Prayers for you & your wife that all is well with this little one, and there is not an ectopic pregnancy. I hope these links help. Are you positive of the LMC date? That could throw off your timeline on HCG levels...just a thought.
