Still in limbo and at the end of my rope

So I am allegedly 7+ weeks pregnant, but I have had nothing but neutral news since the start...first my numbers weren't quite doubling, which some were worried about and some didn't see as a problem. Overall, the numbers were way under the 72 hr minimum, so I tried to keep faith. The first u/s showed a bleed present, but a nice gestational sac. My numbers finally started doubling correctly, and the second scan showed a yolk sac...but I appeared to be a week behind. This could be due to an abnormal pregnancy or the slow doubling times. They told me to come back today and it was basically do or die. Once again today the bleed is present, everything has grown, but they were not positive they saw a heart beat and I am still measuring behind for a week. The nurse was nice and tried to say that if I truly am a week behind, then we might not see a hb and not to panic. They really couldn't seem to get good pictures either. Then the dr comes in and basically is a downer and says that all hope is not lost, but he is concerned. I have to go back Friday and have another scan and he absolutely must see a hb or he will send me to a specialist and go from there. I am just so frustrated. Nothing is ever clear cut. I want to believe that everything will still be okay, but for 29 days I have been obsticle after obsticle and I have no real answers. I am just at the end of my rope and now I get to do some more waiting :/
