When is the earliest you can see anything on an ultrasound

My doctor has scheduled me for an u/s today.  I am only 5 weeks pg.  What, if anything, can I expect to see.  He's doing it because I'm having severe lower back pain.

I'm in the same situation......Dr believes I'm just too early and that's why nothing is showing up yet......Dr told me that usually nothing shows up til around week 5 or so....so, if you are earlier than that, it's probably too soon!

I had taken 5 home pregnancy tests and all came back positive...I had a dr appointment scheduled for the following Tuesday.  While at the Dr office, they had me do a pee test, and that also came back positive.....My Dr went and did an ultrasound and saw absolutely nothing...no sac, no baby yet...Dr said not to worry,  but I'm still scared....Dr then wanted me to go get blood work  done because my cycles were never regular, and it may be too early to see anything yet....I have to get another blood test done next Monday so the Dr can compare my Hcg levels...Should I be worried about anything or is it just too early to see anything yet
