1st ultrasound and no sign of baby

Hello, i went for my first ultrasound today and the baby wasnt visible. The dr says im about 7.5 weeks but i am pretty sure im only about 6.5 weeks. The doctor made it sound like i definitely miscarried but my body hasnt caught on yet. The ultasound tech said not to come back for at least a week but due to the holiday they scheduled me for another ultrasound in only 6 days. At first i was devastated after this news but ive done some research and this might be common. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this or if anyone has feedback?

I would ask for your hcg levels monitored.. when babies are that little they can *hide*.

Are they dating you by last missed period?? At 6 weeks it is definitly possibly that all you would see is a gestational sack. Generally by 7 there is at least a yolk sac if not a fetal pole. By 8 weeks you should be able to see a fetus and a heart flicker. I had my first US at 6 weeks 3 days and all we saw was a sack, they had me come back 2 Weeks later and sure enough my nugget was there! Keep the hope ❤

you might as well go in for your appointment so that your not driving yourself crazy by waiting an additional 2 weeks. in 6 days, there should be a visible yolk sac, which would be a great sign that the pregnancy is progressing!
