I am not a doctor, but I think a follow up ultrasound would put you mind to ease. See, I don't understand why some doctors do ultrasound so early. Most of the time they worry the patient to death (figure of speech). At 5 weeks and 2 days, there is not really much to be seen. If I were you I would schedule one in about 2 weeks and that one will help alot. Most of the time the heartbeat can't be seen until 6 weeks or even more. With this pregnancy, my hcg level was at 23000, and on the ultrasound that showed a sac and a yolk sac that measured 6 week and 4 days. There wasn't a heartbeat or fetal pole until 10 days later. My hcg level was 35000 and my baby measured 7 weeks and 4 days with a heartrate of 157. Right now, The only answer is time will tell. You are still really early. I know what you are going through. I have had two miscarriages and 1 life and now 33 weeks pregnant. Please stop worrying, the measurement can be off, too. And try to have a Merry Christmas. Always try to think positive until there isn't a postive side.(if that makes sense) :) >You can email me personaly, I love to talk. Sometimes talking with someone you don't even know can help ease your mind for awhile
