no fetal pole???

hi first time mummy here, went for first check up and did transvaginal ultrasound, gestational sac and yolk sac seen but no fetal pole, according to lmp which was 25th feb, i should be around 6 weeks but then again my cycle days on average is 34 days so it would be around 5 weeks? but was really panic when dr says the baby might not be growing ??aand then he says i might jus miscalculated my lmp and need to do the scan again in 2 weeks time. now im like so depress, i just hope my little angel is developing well.Any mummies went through the same experience and end up good?

Had a similar experience at my “6weeks” scan too. Didn’t see anything at all and was indirectly told by gynae to “be prepared” that the pregnancy might not be viable. He scheduled me for a more detailed scan a week later (around week 7). However, less than a week later I had some spotting and went for an urgent scan and everything turned out fine - saw baby and heard a strong heartbeat. Gynae put me on HL to rest and all seems fine now (10weeks). Don’t loose hope!
