Had my scan yesterday
The scan went ok, they couldn't see much, just the yolk sac, they said its what they would expect for about 6 weeks but they said they are concerned by my high hCG. Last week it was at 3800 so they would expect me to be further along and to be able to see more in the scan and there is a possibility the baby has stopped growing so I have got another scan in 2 weeks.
I am feeling very down and not sure how I am going to cope in the next 2 weeks waiting for the scan. I am finding it really hard to be positive about it.

It's such a long time to wait, they said there is no point having one any sooner because the baby might grow but not enough to show a difference so they want to wait 2 weeks so there should be a definate difference. I am not sure what I am dreading more, the wait or the scan!!

I had this too - had to wait 2 weeks for another scan. My hcg was low - only 991 and not anywhere doubling so they said to expect the worst. But 2 weeks later there was a hb! So don't give up.
In my case I did end up mcing a week later but with my hormone levels being so poor it was to be expected really as our bean just wasn't strong enough.
I seem to remember you saying before you thought you ov'd a bit later than cd 14. So you could just be too early. Some people don't see a hb until week 8.
I had hcg tests on Monday and it was 14866 at 5+3 which is waaaay too high (could be twins, molar pg or high risk of downs syndrome) and have since done LOADS of reading and your levels sound fine - sometimes people do just have high levels, or they find out it's twins. Sometimes you can have vanishing twin so levels went up fast because there was two but one doesn't make it and is reabsorbed.
Please stay positive. There is no doubt that this is going to be a long 2 weeks for you but I really do think all will be ok.
