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 don't understand why your doctor has said to come back in 3/4 weeks
thats far too long to wait
Go see another gp and insist you go back at least when your on your 6th and a half week date and don't take no for an answer .You should not have to wait and suffer for a whole month its not humane .

Hi
I had a scan at hosp yesterday I was measured at 5wks and 3 day, sac and yolk there but no fetal pole or heart beat and the sac measured at 20.1mm when they said you should see something, they have booked me back in for a scan the followin fri but said no to get my hopes up . I have been reading things online and messages are getting mixed I am really worried about the outcome of all this and just scared my baby is not going to make it . This is my fourth pregnancy and I have never had problems like this before

well no, i know im not supposed to bleed.. im saying i havent been bleeding as in i havent had a miscarriage yet.. or any signs of it.. and that i do feel very pregnant in that i am nauseous and my boobs hurt..
what scares me is they could find no fetal pole or heartbeat and my hcg levels are 19000.. but they are saying im only 5 weeks 3 days.. i feel like my hcg levels are way too high to not see a h/b or fetal pole...
