Probably, yes.: It's very early and dating pregnancy is at a minimum a +/- 5 day estimate. Later on, estimated age is +/- two weeks. At six weeks the fetal pole is barely detectable.

More like 5weeks: At 6 weeks the fetal pole would typically be about 5mm. You may be asked to repeat the sono in 1-2 weeks to confirm fetal life. Good luck.
