i had the same thing happen to me minus the ER i knew i was pregnant and went to the dr early to confirm because of health issues with my youngest daughter i wanted to get things rolling sooner than later, anyways, they saw the sac at 4wks 4days and then we didnt see the yolk sac until 5weeks 6days so i really wouldnt worry this early on its hard to say how far along you are anyways due to late implantation and things like that..... just keep following up and within the next week or two you should definately know better whats going on... good luck!

My doctor said that she wouldn't even scan me until my hcg levels hit 1500. It sounds like it is just too early to tell. The yolk sac doesn't even appear until about 5 1/2 weeks. I would just wait another week and then go back for another u/s.

My LMP was April 7th and My O date was the 21st and I am only 4weeks 2 days so you should be pretty close based on what you gave us. All embryos grow at different rates and you can measure ahead and then slow down. You can see the hb at about 6-7 weeks and then begin to hear it on a good u/s machine around 7 weeks.

I'm wondering why you needed to go to the ER. Were you having bleeding or something? Just curious.

I agree with the other ladies that it's probably just too early. Don't worry yet. Wait to see what your doctor says on Tuesday. Good luck!

If you O on the 19 then you are not 5.5 weeks but more like 4.5 which would mean no sac yet. Not sure where they are getting 5.5 unless that is from the hcg but here are wide ranges in hcg for various point everyone is different so I would definitely not worry

The yolk sac shows up during week five usually however at that stage there is up to a four day variance or leeway given since every embryo developed at slightly different rates and our date could be off by a day or two as well. I wouldn't worry yet as long as tour hcg levels are as expected :) good luck and best wishes
