Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you to wait at least another week if not two before giving up. At five weeks, we often do not see anything in the sac.
A follow up scan should be done in about a week. Another option is to do quantitative beta hcg levels 48 hours apart to see if they are doubling. If so, the pregnancy may be healthy.
Good luck!
