Update: Sac, but no baby? - Losing hope

I wrote a post last week about how I had my first u/s and they didn't see anything but an empty sac.
As a refresher, you can see it here: https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/74857057.aspx
I ended up getting blood work done the same day and my hcg level was 9853, when the doctor thought it would be closer to 25,000 (the week prior it was 3335), so he wasn't optimistic at that point that this was going to be a viable pregnancy. In fact, he has told me many times since my BFP that he was worried it wasn't a viable pregnancy.
Anyway, still hopeful, my doctor decided to send me for a follow-up u/s today and it was not a good day. The tech allowed my husband into the room today (they didn't last time) because I told them that I really needed him there for support. They couldn't find the baby again during the u/s and asked me if I had experienced anymore bleeding. I said no. They asked my husband to leave and they did the transvaginal u/s. It felt like they were searching forever and then asked me if I had been bleeding since my u/s, which to me means that there was likely no change or that it looked more empty and maybe there wasn't a sac there anymore.
I asked them if everything looked the same (knowing that they really couldn't tell me anything) and she just said "I can't tell you that. I'm really sorry." Then I got up and she told me to see my doctor and I left.
I am so sad and I cannot see my doctor until Tuesday, as he is away until then. I have pretty much come to terms that this likely isn't my take home baby, but I will be on pins and needles until I know for sure.

ANnnnnnddd time to find a new doctor. Seriously. Who makes the DH leave the room? This isn't 1950. Sending positive vibes your way.
I was at an u/s clinic for the u/s. My doctor would have never kicked my husband out of the room.

It has nothing to do with her doctor. The clinic has its own set of policies and procedures. It has nothing to do with the year, or modesty, or whatever the heck you were thinking that made you reference 1950. JFC.
OP, so sorry to hear you are going through this. If you go to a multi-doctor practice I would consider calling and asking if another doctor can review your file and the new report from the radiologist and get in touch with you prior to your obgyn's return.
Again, so sorry you are going through this - sending thoughts your way.
TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.
I'm sorry for all the worry that this is causing you and I can't believe they didn't let your husband in last time or during the vaginal u/s. I wish you the best of luck and send prayers to you and your husband!
I would also really consider changing doc offices. I have a CNM (certified nurse midwife) and whenever the u/s tech (who was there for every one of my pregnancies) did an u/s, they usually either had my midwife in there to explain what the u/s tech couldn't or at least had me see my midwife RIGHT after the u/s. They would not make you wait and they would never refuse someone having their husband. So just a FYI, there may be better options out there for maternity care.
