I am very new at this! I don't quite understand the lingo, DC2, DD, DS, BFP, BD stuff of that nature! Could you all help explain some of these, please.

Hi everyone. I have just recently found out I am pregnant! But as of yeserday, I should be 5 weeks. I went and got a vaginal ultrasound and there is nothing in my uterus. no gestation sac or anything. I have a very sharp pain on the right part of my belly. I go back for another ultrasound in a week to see if there is any progress but right now I am terrified. I don't know what is going on.
