Normal: The heartbeat doesnt occur until 12 weeks gestation. So if you are estimated at 5 or six weeks, that is within normals. A safe and healthy pregnancy wish to you

Too early: It is too early to worry. A fetus can not usually be seen until at least 6 weeks. Most likely the doctor scheduled you to return next week for a repeat sonogram. At that time you should be able to see and determine if all is well.

1st ultrasound I measured 4wks 6 days. 13 days later I only measured 6 weeks 1 day. There was a fetal pole, but no heart beat. should I worry about possible miscarriage or could I just be to early for heartbeat. I go back in 7 days for another US. ?
