Have one healthy ds but have since had two mc in a row. Now pg again and had a six week scan for this reason yesturday and saw a gestational sac but with nothing inside. Sonographer said it was fine and what they would expect from a 'very early pregnancy' and to come back in two weeks for another one.
However I was expecting to see yolk sac by six weeks and most likely embryo and possibly heartbeat. I am confused that according to her everything is fine but it does not seem fine to me. She put in my notes that I am consistent with a 4-5 week pregancy but I know I should around six weeks as I am pretty sure give or take a day or two, when I ovulated. I only read the notes after I left so I had no chance to ask her if this date difference was a bad sign or not.
In a way having a scan at this stage has made me even more anxious and confused.

Has anyone else had similar experience with early scans?

Early pregnancy scan at 6 weeks and no visible sac, HCG level at 300 waiting for follow up results but obviously panicking.. doctors presented all the options but the one where they missed something. Am I wrong to hope that all of this is just a big mistake?
