Only yolk sac visible in week 7 (according to lmp)

Hi all, I have just had my first dr appointment today. Only the yolk sac is visible based on the ultrasound with no sign of the fetus or fetus heartbeat detected. The dr said it might still be early weeks in the pregnancy and to come back two weeks later. Has anyone had similar experiences and is it a red flag for possible miscarriage :(

I had the same experience too! I found out I was 5 weeks pregnant, KKH gave me an appointment on my 6th week. I had a scan and could only see the yolk sac. They scheduled me to come back on the 8th week for another scan and there it was - the pounding tiny little heart. I was worried at first too, I was thinking a miscarriage too. But it was just a little too early. So don’t you worry! Everything will be fine.
