When HCG reaches 1000 you should see an empty sac, sometimes on transvaginal ultrasound you can see the yolk sac. By 20,000 you should see a heartbeat which is usually around 6wks. I heard one heartbeat and saw both at my 6wk 2 day ultrasound. I would say by 5wks 4days you should see something with that high of HCG but maybe go back in a week just to double check. GL!

So I've had two miscarriages, 1 chemical pregnancy, and 3 successful pregnancies. During my first successful pregnancy, they told me at our first ultrasound that it was very very likely a miscarriage. I had very little spotting, but also the ultrasound did not show a fetal pole and the tech and dr felt like it didn't look good. I was supposedly 6 weeks or so. I went back 1 week later to confirm the miscarriage, and there was a little fetal pole with a heartbeat measuring about 6w2d. So you never know. At this early, I wouldn't automatically schedule a d&c. I'd check back in 1 week. If there is still nothing in the sac, I'd go from there.

No harm in waiting if you are considering the D&C in any case. If it is grows by next week, then maybe wait a bit more since these scans are only estimates and can be a bit off. Maybe You could check with your doc if you need to take bed rest or dietary change to help support it.. all the best. You are in my prayers.
