Hello

Fetal pole should have been visualized by this time.You are rightly advised for follow up USG after 2 weeks.
Fetal heart beat can be seen as early as 5 weeks 1 days of pregnancy.It can be earliest seen by trans vaginal sonography(TVS).

So,you should wait till next ultrasound scan.
If fetal pole is still not visualized in next scan then it can be considered as missed abortion.

Take Care
