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!!!

According to my lmp I am 6 weeks today, but according to the measurements of the gestational sac I am 5 weeks 2 days.  The nurse said that the transvaginal ultrasound showed a gestational sac and a yolk sac, no fetal pole or heartbeat yet, but is concerned because it is in the left corner of my uterus.  My hcg levels have been doubling, but they are still concerned about the location and they say they want it to drop.  Has anyone ever heard of this?  I go back for another ultrasound in a week.  Also they found antibodies in my blood and I had to get more bloodwork done, which I am waiting for the results as well.  Any info is appreciated!

i am 8 weeks and 3 days pregnant according to he physician. I had my vaginal u/s today and there was no sign of heartbeats. I am having twins and according to them i had a miss-missed carriage. It means i had a miscarriage but didnt pass through. im having spotting with the size of a fingure nail. i was seen by four different doctors and they all said some what different opinions each visit, so i'm very worried i really want to be able to keep this twins. i just want to know if there are anyone that have similar symptoms but carry on with the pregnancy the whole term.

These are the same concerns that my wife and I are going through.  We had a miscarriage about a year and half ago and dont wish that situation upon anyone.  We are now pregnant but my wife went into work today feeling sharp pains.  She decided to go into the emergency room just in case.  They did do an ultra sound and confirmed that she is at 5 weeks judging by the size of the sack.  The only thing is that they said the sack is still too small to see a fetal pole and definitely too early to see a heart beat.  As I type this post, my wife is in the hospital room waiting for the doctor to talk to her.  Now I am freakin out because its starting to the same scenario as the last time we had a miscarriage.  Is there any advise out there that anyone can inform me on from the story I just placed?  Are there any concerns that I should be aware of??  Please help...

the report says mode sonography of gravid utreus shows a single intrautrine gestation sac. And MSD is 1.4 cm. Fetal pole not visulised. and no fetal heartbeat pulsation seen. I has been only 49 days and there is very mild  brown spotting at times.

The doctor said the growth of fetus is below normal. now what does all this indicate? Will my pregnancy be normal?
