ultrasound today?

Hey everyone, went in for my first ob visit today. My calculations put me at 5 weeks and 5/6 days. Ultrasound showed a gestational sac and yolk sac. The could not see a fetal pole. The sac was measuring at 5 weeks 0 days. They said it was early and nothing to worry about- they want to rescan in 10 days. Does this sound okay to you guys. I am so nervous. HCG level is doing well, today's level was 13,511. Thanks for any replys!

They did an u/s for me at 5wk5d (at least thats what I was measuring) and we could see the gestational and yolk sak and a little bit of the baby and a nice little flicker. Things can change so drastically in such a short period of time. I went and did one this week too and we saw the hb, measured and clearly saw the bean. Now I'm measuring 6wk3d so I get another u/s next week. I wouldn't be too concerned!

I had a transvaginal US and measured at 5 weeks 4 days and did not see a fetal pole either. Dr warned me beforehand that it may be the case. They did see the yolk sac and gestational sac though. I went back at 8 weeks 2 days and saw little one and even got to see his/her heart beating away. Couldnt hear it but dr said it was normal not to be able to hear it. He saw it pumping away so all was well

I would try not to worry too much about it. Its pretty normal not to see it that early.

thanks for the reassurance! They did a vaginal ultrasound, and I am quite fluffy. I was also wondering if being overweight affects a vaginal ultrasound the same way as it does an abdominal? I know the belly fat can make things unclear. Thanks!
