A member asked:

There was a little sac and fetal pole but no heartbeat yet. possibly too early they think i'm less than 6 weeks. feeling sick has stopped for 2 days.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No heart beat on U/S: Seeing a sac with fetal pole at 6 weeks is normal and I would have expected cardiac activity. Possibly it's somewhat delayed. Recheck in 2 weeks, no activity would be an ominous sign.
