Hi Angela, Yes, it is possible to not see a fetal pole at 6 weeks.But when you return for your 7-8 week ultrasound there should be evidance of a viable pregnancy. I had a blighted ovum last year around this same time and I was about 10 weeks pregnant and had been going in for ultrasounds from the min, I found out I was pregnant. I must have had about 5-6 u/s and nothing showed there was a sign of life. I opted for the D&C.This was my first D&C out of my 4 pregnancy losses. But as I was researching via the net when I was going through this terrible ordeal i had discovered that many woman had not seen there babies at 6 weeks and upon there next u/s at 7-8 weeks they saw their baby..So there is hope.. so hang in there and let me know. Best of luck to you. Amber
