Please don't let them give you the shot to terminate this pregnancy yet. It's so early still and your betas are rising beautifully. It's possible the tech could have just missed what he was looking for.. at 5 weeks the sac can be incredibly tiny. Most docs don't even do an ultrasound before 6w. Since you're on progesterone supplements and your levels are still on the low side, talk to them about upping the dosage or switching to a different type.. I've heard some women have better results from PIO vs suppositories or pills and vice versa. Don't give up yet.. we're all pulling for you!
