A member asked:

Sonogram showed 5 weeks 2 days but no fetal pole. my hcg level went from 2,000 to 13,000 in 5 days. is this normal?

Yes: As long as the beta HCG is rising it is normal. the fetal pole may not appear until after 6 weeks.

Early scan: Since your dating scan was so early are you already scheduled for a repeat scan? If not ask for one, for reassurance, as well as dating of the pregnancy. HCG levels should double every two days.
