******************************

HCG numbers freaked me out... right into an almost panic attack!!

Technically in the beginning the numbers are supposed to double every 48

hours (2 days)...... well.. mine were doubling at a rate of 4.3 days.

I thought FOR SURE that I wouldn't carry to term..

That was AFTER the first U/S where all we saw was an empty sac....

Here I sit at 37 weeks...

You know... my story is so NOT uncommon either!
