A member asked:

What does it mean when you're 5 weeks pregnant and have brownish discharge. had us they said they could see the sac but no baby yet..help! please?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fetus visualization: It is not uncommon to not see a fetus at 5 weeks gestation as only a gestational sac is present at that time. Your OB md will be following your ultrasound with another and a serial beta HCG to determine fetal devlopment- so follow their instructions.
