6 week ultrasound only yolk sac and gestational sac....

in 1st Trimester
hey everyone! I went for an ultrasound yesterday at 6 weeks and all the tech saw was the yolk sac and a small flickering that she thought could have been baby. My question is, is this normal? They scheduled me for 4-6-16 for another ultrasound. The tech said at my stage I could have been only 1 day away from hearing a HB from baby. 

My worry is only because I miscarried in May of 2015

    I might be off, I had a weird late period in February. I use an app tracker, but I could be off.

     Well I hope we both have awesome ultrasounds that day I'm feeling positive just slightly concerned but I most likely ovulated a little late and I might only be five weeks instead of six and that's why we didn't see anything is what I'm thinking

    Good luck. Even 24 hours can make a large difference when it comes to the heart starting to beat.

    I understand being PGAL (pregnant after loss) is very nerve wrecking. 6 weeks is still early to see a baby. Some women get lucky and do and others don't. It doesn't mean there isn't one visible the next day. Same goes for the rate of heartbeat. It starts slow than picks up quickly. They scheduled you during week 7 to confirm the viability with more accuracy. At this past u/s you were able to establish the pregnancy is not ectopic. 

    Fx for a happy&healthy 9 for you.
