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

[Kittyinga]

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!!!

This is my first pregnancy that I found out 2 weeks ago that i am 4 weeks pregnant. My last menstrual date was 5/16. I went to the doctor last week & got my pregnancy confirmed on tuesday, scheduled my first prenatal appointment for july 8th. On thursday i saw brown spotting for the veryy first time & it was very faint...yesterday it was alot more than the last time and lasted fromm 8am to 3pm and when i went to the doc she sugggested that i get an ultrasound done. i went in for an ultrasound and they saw a yolk sac but no fetal pole. the doc said it might be an early pregnancy or an early sign of miscarriage. i have no family history of miscarriage or anything like that. my mother had 6 kids 5 of them were vaginal delivery and her last child was c-section. the doc has told me to get a blood test done tomorow to check the HCG level and one on friday to see if they are increasing or what...

I AM SO WORRIED...this is my first pregnancy and i really dont want any complications. can anyone please help me to this & tell me in a situation like this what am i to expect? are these symptoms normal or what?
BY the way i am 5 weeks and some days today.

I have had 2 misscarrages in the past year. I am on my third pregnancy and i should be 8 weeks along but my doc said there is no way because the only thing they see is a sac and not fetal pole. I am taking extra folic acid 3 times daily and bayy tylenol along with my prenatal pills. I am scared to death about this one and hope everything turns out. I had 3 unltrasounds in the past week and the third one they saw 2 sacks which would be twins. I'm just hoping for the best and praying everday. All HGC levels keep going up so I guess thats good news. I'm just hoping next time i have my ultra sounds we see a heart beat.

I am in the exact same boat and would love to hear what you found out today.
I went in today and my docter said due to my last cycle day (May 8th) that I should be 5w5D but they didn't see a sac on the ultrasound.  I  think though that I am only 4w3d because I ovulate late.  He said not to worry, but they called me back and want to see me again tomorrow.  My last blood draw I had yesterday showed HCG levels of 1540.  They have been almost tripling since I started bloodwork every other day last week.  I go in tomorrow for more bloodwork and another scan.  Being that I had a scan today, I doubt that is going to clarify much.

Let me know how things are going with your bloodwork.  I know what it feels like to be a nervous wreck about all this.

I am hoping that somebody is going to read this and help me out.  I went to my doctor on June 12th who confirmed me at 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant.  My HCG levels were 2443 at that time.  I had a very small blood clot last Thursday, 6/11/09 and went to the ER.  They did an Ultrasound and saw nothing but an endometrium, but my pelvic showed my cervix was closed.  My HCG levels that night were 6543. My regular doctor had my blood drawn again on Saturday, and it was 9208.  Am I right to assume that I was just too early to see anything?  I have another blood draw and an U/S tomorrow, but I am still a nervous wreck!  I am trying to keep myself positive so as not to stress myself out.

Had an ultarsound today.  LMP was may 5th, Regular cycles are 32 days.  Sonogram tech said I was less than 5 weeks.  There was a gestational sac and yold but no fetal pole.  My HCG levels were 1177.  Feeling very paranoid about losing this pregnancy.  Lst one 5 months ago due to Ectopic pregnancy.  Next U/S next week sometime!
Feeling worried...

I am supposed to be 7.2 weeks today.  I had my second ultrasound yesterday and found the my yolk sac (measures 7 weeks) is larger than my baby (which only measured 6.2 weeks) they have not found a heartbeat yet and have scheduled me for another sonogram thursday.  I am so worried, this is my first pregnancy after an ectopic 12yrs ago.  I never thought I would get pregnant but I did.  My blood work shows that my hcg levels at 38,000, but there's nothing to compare it to since it was my first set of blood levels.  I will have more drawn on my next visit, but I'm worried about the large sac.  Many say it leads to a blighted ovum.  I have no cramping or bleeding at all and still feel very pregnant.  Is there anyone who knows more about this?

Worried to lose my gift.
