Don't worry yet. It is a normal finding for an early 5 week preg to only see the yolk sac with the vaginal camera. Usually women would have a follow up in about a week to confirm the visualization of the "fetal pole".

thanx! just a big game of "hurry up and wait" i guess!!!!! :)
What lyssamarie described happened to me, exactly. Thought I was 6 weeks but I was 5. A week later at the actual 6 week mark, we could see her, and I even heard her heartbeat. I'm now 27 weeks, so don't worry yet.
I went at 6w...no heartbeat...went back exactly a week later and measured 6w6d w/a heartbeat :) im 23w now!!
How far along are Drs saying you are? pregnancy is based on the first day of your last period... so technically your not actually pregnant for a couple of weeks out of that time...
The fetal pole can be seen around 5.5-6.5 weeks and the heartbeat can be seen around 6.5-7 weeks...
thanx so much for everyon'es r esponses! its nice to know you're not alone. doc is saying ~6 weeks, i think its more 4-5
okay so even if you go by the Drs predicted due date it can still be too early to see :) Are they sending you for another US in a week or 2? or so...
They didn't say, I didn't speak with doctor after us, only us tech. I guess maybe they wil call? Scheduled normal follow up is next month
O i c, ya prob your next will be at around 10-14 weeks...
