Hello
Thank you for writing to HCM
It will be advisable to do blood test Sr bhCG and check the values
If the levels are good and corresponding to the weeks of pregnancy then you can wait for 2 weeks and repeat the scan and see if the fetus has appeared.
I understand your menstrual cycles are normal and its 6 weeks from your last menstrual period
Hope to have answered your query
Wish you all the best

welcome to HCM.
there is no foetal pole on sonography. Repeat sonography after 7 days .if still foetal pole is not seen , go for D&C.
