Doubtful.: At 6 weeks both a fetal pole and yolk sac should be seen if the dating is correct and ultrasound technique is optimal. However, quantitative hCG of 1600 does not correspond to 6 weeks from LMP

HCG sounds low: and at 6 weeks there should be more to see such as heart beat and yolk sac. One thing to keep in mind is that dates could be off. It is best to wait about 2 weeks and repeat the blood work and sonogram and then you will have a better idea what is happening
