5 week ultrasound??? Little worried

I am 5 weeks 4 days tomorrow and am having an ultrasound per OB request. We did HCG levels and my first level was 1045 on friday 4 weeks.5 days and then 4950 on monday 5 weeks 1 day. I havent had any cramping or bleeding but I do have a prior history of ectopic x 1. When I asked the nurse why we were doing an ultrasound she just said, because of your history. Is this normal? Should I be worried? What would I expect to see this early?

  • Those are great numbers!! I don't think you need to be worried. Like PP have said there are a lot of variations for an US this early. You most likely won't see a heartbeat but I wouldn't let it worry you.
  • I'm 5weeks 4 days today and just had my first ultrasound. There was a gestational sac and yolk sac. The sac measured 6 weeks, but I'll have an actual dating us in 2 weeks. My doctor said the sac is normally shaped and showed me the decidual reaction (b

  • I don't think you should be worried....seems to be just precautionary. I actually had an early u/s yesterday at 5w 6d because I had been having spotting off and on the past several days and there wasn't a clear cause (hadn't had sex recently, etc). I was
