Too quick to give up?

I have always felt that doctors are much too quick to intervene in an early pregnancy, pronouncing it non-viable due to slow numbers. I have watched so many women online, with slowly-doubling betas in early pregnancy, get talked into a D&C, without even giving the pregnancy a chance. It scares me how many little lives may have been lost, when waiting another week or so, might have made a difference.

The medical profession always want to put us in a box, and if we don't fit, it seems we get tossed out. Funny, but I have never fit in any box, I am not a statistic, and amazingly - what works for the majority, does not work for all. I wish more women realized that about themselves.
