Nothing on the ultrasound

Hello- I tested positive on a pregnancy test at home and at the OBGYN.  However the doctor could not see anything on the ultrasound.   She thinks it is too early but I am worried.   How many weeks along do you have to be to see the sac?  She took blood work yesterday and I am going back tomorrow.   I am very worried can you please help?

I had an ultrasound at 8weeks 5 days and they couldn't see anything. They had to do a transvaginal ultrasound where we were able to see and hear the heartbeat. I didn't have any bleeding after that, but they told me it was normal to have bleeding and not to be alarmed if I did. I had a lot of cramping too, which they said was normal as well. Good luck!

The same thing happened to me. I went in for stomach pains and they said i was pregnant. They did a transvaginal ultrasound and could not find anything. Unfortunately they told me I had a miscarriage. But to go back the next day to get my beta level checked and to go back in a week for another ultrasound. When they did the ultrasound there was a yolk sack. Now im 31w 3d and my pregnancy is 100% perfect! So dont worry too much :)
