We certainly wouldn't see anything on the abdominal portion of the ultrasound, and at 4 weeks, very likely won't see anything vaginally either. So, please don't be alarmed!

Has your doctor drawn HCG (pregnancy hormone) levels? Once the HCG is over 2500 or so, depending on the experience of your ultrasound people, they should be able to see the pregnancy on vaginal ultrasound.

Good luck to you. I know from your previous posts that the road to motherhood has been long and rocky for you. I'll keep "the Brides for life" in my thoughts.

Take good care.
