5 Week ultrasound - NO heartbeat No fetal pole. HELP!

I am 6 weeks and 1 day today. Here is what has happened so far:

4 weeks (10/20) HCG = 524
4 wks 3dys (10/23) HCG = 1,993
4 wks 6 dys (10/26) HCG = 7,024

THEN

Ultrasound at exactly 5 weeks (10/27) = Showed sac but no fetal pole no heartbeat...

They are having me come in again this monday for another ultrasound (I'll be 6weeks 3 days then).

My question-

IS ALL THIS NORMAL?

WHEN CAN FETAL POLE BE SEEN?

WHEN CAN HEART BEAT BE SEEN?

ARE HCG'S NORMAL?


PLEASE HELP! ANYONE WITH INFO OR ADVICE!!

Thanks so much!!!

I woke up yesterday 4/28 slightly bleeding it continued for a couple of hours, by the time I went to my doctor which was first visit the bleeding had stopped. The doctor told me before u/s i was about 7 wks to my knowledge should only be about 6 wks. During u/s couldn't find fetal pole and wasn't told what my sac measured! I'm scared!!! Had blood drawn and again tomorrow to figure my levels... doctor told me to come back in two weeks for another u/s but more or less told me to be prepared to lose baby I'm not ready for that..... any inputs??

this is my 2nd pregnant, have a 15mnth DS. i have had spotting for 4 days now i went to the hospital today and had a scan done, they measured the gesational sack and it only came at 5 weeks 3 days.. when i should be 6 weeks 5 days going by my blood test & first day of last period.. there was a yolk sac visable no heartbeat or fetal pole yet as its to early to see but the doctor told me the fetus might have stopped growing or i ovulated at a differnt date, what scares me even more is i am positive of my dates and when we had sex and when i ovualted. so i have to come back in 2 weeks for another scan to see if it has grown ect. i am so scared becasue i have bleeding and i had spotting with my first pregnancy but nothing like this. hopeing i see a little heartbeat on my next scan :( hate the waiting game.

I went for u/s Tuesday 7/21 for which I believe was 6 wks 5 days at that time.  We saw sac with no fetal pole or heartbeat.  They ran some blood work, and told me to come back next Wednesday for another u/s.  This makes us very nervous having to wait and wonder....Funny thing is, everyone on here posts about the same issues, but no one ever really comes back on to give update, so these don't really help us if we dont know what the results were.

Concerned.
