HELP! MY FIRST ULTRA SOUND, NOT HEART BEAT!

I was So excited to go get my first ultra sound today.  But now I don't know what to think.  The lady did a vaginal ultra sound on me an there was just a black circle.  There was no heart beat!  I thought that I was 11 weeks because my last FULL cycle was June 7th.  I had spotting for 2 days on July 5th an 6th.  I just thought it was implantation bleeding.  Even if I was a month off on my dates.... I should be 5 or 6 weeks.  Shouldn't I had heard the heart beat or saw some thing inside the circle?  It was just a black dot.  They would not give me the ultra sound pics an the nurse an staff acted very strange.  They set me up 2 visits for next week at the hospital.  They would not tell me any thing.  I have to get more blood word an another ultra sound done Tuesday.  I think they want me to go there for a DNC but I'm not sure.  When she hit a button on the machine it lit up around it... but not on or near it.  What dose that mean?  I feel fine.  No spotting or pain.  Has this ever happened to any one on here?  Please help I'm almost in tear worring about this.

I looked it up, its the amount of haemoglobin packed into an area of red blood cells. Problem MCHC are 37 or more. Low means anaemia. Your blood will be super efficient at carrying Oxygen if you have haemoglobin jam packed in.

i will tell you only what i know. i was thought to be 11 weeks preggo and went in for my first scan and only to find out that baby stopped developing at 6.5 weeks ,it was just a black dot with nothin in it no heartbeat no nothing. i had NO spotting , no cramps no nothing . i thought everything to be fne. well i had a missed ob but my body kept on carrying it almost six weeks after it had passed . so i had to have a d&c. and it broke my heart. i know thats not what you want to hear but im tellin you what had happened to me . i wish you luck and hope that everyhting is ok with you .

The norm for a not pregnant person is 27.0 - 32.00 So you see it's not that high :)

My neutrophils were 8.54 and the norm was 2.00 - 7.50. I'm not sure what MCHC are but neutrophils are related to infection so i was really worried I had an infection (I was 12 weeks at the time) and my OB just found it amusing that I new what they were and had worried about it.

I am 100% that it is nothing bad and completely Unrelated to predicament :) I would hazard a guess that if there was a problem then alot of the components of the blood would be miles out of their range.
