At 7 weeks you should definitely be seeing baby on an ultrasound. Over had early scans with all 3 of my children and see baby and a heartbeat by that stage. Have they scheduled you for a follow up scan?

I know for sure im not 7 weeks even dr said so .when i had hcg drawn i was suppose to be 6 weeks and hcg was only 54 and i was 2 weeks late for af negative hpts until may 15th. Dr is gonna do another ultrasound as long as hcg has gone up. Did hcg today dr said if his calculations is right my hcg should only be in 800s may 16th was 54

This is super common. I'm in some due date groups and there were even women at 7-8 weeks that weren't showing anything and a few weeks later there was baby with a heartbeat. Some of them were even a month behind what they thought they were and most are close to 20 weeks now.

My honest opinion no. The only time I've not seen anything is because the pregnancy hasn't carried on. At 5 weeks I could see a sac. But i hope and pray that you are different and get good news I really do. There are always postive stories and I could give you false hope but sometimes it's best to be honest

in my clinic they would not even attempt an ultrasound before hcg reaches at least 1500 - some clinics even say you need 2000 to see anything at all. that's usually c. 2 weeks after the positive test, so for you would be may 30.

The authors found that 90% of the time in viable pregnancies one would expect to see the gestational sac at 1,918 mIU/ml, the yolk sac at 5,412 mIU/ml and the fetal pole at 24,599 mIU/ml.
