In your 4th week, all that can be seen is a slight thickening of the uterine walls, and in the 5th week not much more than that unless you happened to ovulate right on the dot or a little early.  If you happened to ovulate just a bit late in your cycle compared to average, you won't see what you expect and will get unnecessarily stressed.  Try your 7th week or later.

This is very early. I went at 6 weeks and left very nervous and upset because they couldn't see baby but could see yolk sac. Went back at 8 weeks and everything was perfect!

The first ultrasound is normally around 10. They make sure there is just one growing and measure baby and will give you a more accurate due date.
