Question: I am 6weeks 5days pregnant and the Doctor said he can see the gestation sac but there was no baby in it Do i have complications
Answer: Hello
Congratulations on your pregnancy What is visualized in a pregnancy scan depends among other things on the type of ultrasound done A transvaginal scan TVS is done through the vagina and is usually able to have a closer look at pelvic structures as is seen during a early pregnancy A transabdominal scan TAS is done by placing the ultrasound probe on the abdomen to view structures In order to help get a better view of pelvic structures in transabdominal scan you may be asked to have a full bladder drink lots of water get pressed but do not urinate

In a transvaginal scan it is possible to see a yolk sac within the gestational at about 5 and a half weeks while it may be around 7 weeks for a transabdominal scan So again it will be important to know the type of scan that you had done

Again because most of the estimates are also based statistics it is important to note that one can not be hard and fast on these dates
My suggestion will be that you consider repeating an ultrasound in about 2 weeks from the previous 

In the meantime it will be good to ensure you are registered in a facility that can provide you with optimum antenatal services Should you notice any bleed do not hesitate to present to your primary care provider We will also be glad to answer any other questions or concerns you may have

I hope you found these few lines helpful Should you need more information do not hesitate to use the private chat option to speak with a doctor of your choice 
Wishing you and your baby a healthy development

Answer: Hi good afternoon 
You must be really worried However I dont think there is a problem or you have a complication of any kind Normally following conception the babys growth is in stagesyou said you are 6weeks and 5days gone what was seen during the ultrasound scan was the embryonic sac with probably what is called the foetal pole thats like a very early stage of your babys growth  You need not worry if you have no other complaints however you can visit another facility for a repeat ultrasound but I will advice you wait for some time maybe a week or two and then repeat the ultrasound scan 

I hope this helps
