I had another small  bleed today and was so worried i did another digital pregnancy test. last week i did one and it said it was 1-2 weeks pregnant(since conception)and today it said 2-3 weeks pregnant so surely it means my hormone levels are rising and the pregnancy is progressing.HELP!!! today the spotting was lmost brown so this may be old blood i hope.

I didn't see anything with my daughter until I was 9.5 weeks but I measured 7.5 weeks.
This one I didn't get an early u/s cuz I didn't find out I was pregnant till I was about 12 weeks.

Ultrasounds can be off at any point in your pregnancy, but it can be a week or two off in early pregnancy.
Give it a couple weeks and you'll probably see something.
Don't let your doc talk you into a termination unless it's a proven fact that it is ectopic.
Alot of docs I've seen are making a habbit of trying to terminate what turned out to be a healthy pregnancy just because they "didn't see anything."
Every pregnancy is different.
It isn't till you hit around your 20th week that all babies grow around the same rate.
Give it some time and good luck! Don't stress cuz it's bad for baby!!

I went to my first ultra sound and they seen nothing too, and they said I could have a condition that I could be pregnant but not I forgot the name they told me.. However, they did see the sac and measured it, I was measuring 6wks 2days and you could barely see the yolk sac. I would probably recommend that your OB GYN refused you to a transvaginal ultrasound.. because its probably still really tiny.

Hey there! I am in the exact same boat! I just found out 2 days ago that I was pregnant. They are guessing somewhere between 4.5-5 weeks. Nothing was seen on ultrasound levels but the 2 hcg tests they did on me were 1515 and then 2650...So they think the pregnancy is progressing it just sometimes takes longer in some women to see it on actual u/s. Don't worry just yet!

My dr won't do an ultrasound until HCG levels reach 2000. He said before that you can not expect to see anything. Next week will be better! Maybe you are not as far along as you think!
