I would have another ultrasound at least a week after your first. It will be pretty obvious if there is no heatbeat yet. I am sorry MB. I am praying for a miracle for you and baby.

I would want another ultrasound, too. And if your pregnancy does progress, I'd find another OB. Yours has the bedside manner of a cactus.
I am sending you every good thought that you end up having a healthy pregnancy, but if you do end up having a miscarriage, we are here for you. This part, the waiting and not knowing, is torture. I cannot express the depths of my misery during mine-- feel free to PM me if you ever need commiseration.
I'm so sorry. Definitely get another u/s. Did the doctor say you have options to consider even before another ultrasound? Does your OB not want to confirm? I only ask because my mom's ob did something similar and started inducing an m/c based off of beta levels or something and then in the u/s they detected no abnormalities. My mom had to still go ahead and do a d&c because she was already on course to an induced m/c. So definitely confirm with an u/s before you consider other options.
I'm sorry you're still in limbo. I've read way too many IF posts to think that beta numbers would matter at 8 weeks. Even after doing IVF they stopped taking my hcg after week 6 IIRC and that's when I started having ultrasounds. My first ultrasound was inconclusive too and we knew the dates for sure. I'm hoping for the best for you.
