Question

My hcg today is 2,678 and I’m slightly having some dark brownish bleeding? My first positive pregnancy test was on 8/16/21. I went to the ER for bleeding and they couldn’t see a baby in there. What does your hcg have to be to see the baby on ultrasound? Thanks I’m freaking out!

Answer

the brownish blood can be left over implantation bleeding that happens to me. when implantation happened some of the blood got caught between the embryo and the uterine wall. when the placenta started to grow, it squished out the captive blood. they put me on 3 days bed rest just in case. baby is not 13 years old.
5 weeks is soon enough for an ultrasound but depending on how your uterus is shaped and placed, it can be very difficult for them to get a clear picture. i did IVF so i get ultrasounds every 10 days starting at 5 weeks. with the 5 week one it took them 5-7 minutes using the vaginal probe thing to fine a partial blip. they had to press so hard against my cervix to get it i was crying. 
10 days later they couldn't find the baby at all with the vaginal probe after 5 minutes and switched to the belly one which also took another 5 min or so. they were able to see it then but they pressed so hard i peed a little. we did hear the heartbeat. 
So follow up with your doctor. ask for an ultrasound for peace of mind. ask for the shape of your uterus too. what mine is technically called is retroflexed uterus (tilted to the back instead of the front and bent like a banana)

Answer

At 5 weeks you should be able to see at least a sack and possibly a little gummy bear in there. Sometimes you can't see anything unless its a transvaginal though
