Cant predict : Before week six one should only see a gestational sac. A fetal pole is not visible until after week six. We can not make predictions based on a "low" gestational sac. That is not a typical word used to describe early pregnancy sonograms. You can ask the doctor who performed the sonogram and used that terminology for clarification. Most likely, they will schedule you for a repeat scan in 1-2 weeks.
