Kitty,

I am sorry you are having such a hard time TTC - sadly there are some of us that know that pain so well - too well. Anyway 9hcg is way to low to be a viable pregnancy at that stage - i too had the same thing happen to me, my hcg was 20 and still far too low for a viable pregnancy - you did nothing wrong with stopping meds - i am sure there are alot of us who have had this experience and its hard i know. Just keep trying if you can - alot of doctors say its a numbers game - just waiting for the right embie to come along.
Wishing you luck
