no baby

So my sister had an ultrasound appointment today and doctor couldn't seem to find the baby but every pee and pregnancy test shows up positive, her HCG levels are high but the fact that they can't find the baby is really weird for us, is it possible to have positive pregnancy readings and not actually be pregnant?  Has this ever happen to any of you guys, it would really help to know if this is normal or not???

That happened to me before. Turned out I had a blighted ovum. It's a type of miscarriage where the baby never develops and your body just thinks it's pregnant.

You should let her know she might have an ectopic pregnancy.. its when you carry the baby in the fallopian tubes and not in the uterus to my understanding you should really research it to get a better explanation mine may not be 100% correct lol sorry and goodluck
