Early pregnancy scan

Hi everyone

I’m having an early scan on Wednesday (prev ectopic). By my LMP I should be over 6 weeks by then, however I have long cycles and believe I ovulated late so I think I’m more likely 5 weeks. Has anyone had a scan at 5/6 weeks and can tell me what is normal to see? Thank you!

Good luck OP. I had a partially ruptured ectopic last year just over 5weeks, and just started to TTC again for baby no3.
You are very unlikely to see a HB at this stage but should hopefully see that the embryo is hopefully in the uterus

I had an early scan at 5/6 weeks with my last pregnancy (now 11 years old) due to bleeding. All I saw was a tiny sac, went back 2 weeks later and saw a heartbeat, it was a really long 2 weeks of waiting. Good luck.

I would expect to see nothing, that way if you do see something it’s a bonus. Don’t panic if you see nothing as it’s very early days.
