7 weeks based on last period but gynae says embryo is showing 5 weeks

Hello all I need your views. The last 10 days I had very terrible appetite and very fatigue. The thought of what to eat next makes me nauseous and every smell is bad. Just this morning, I started feeling better (no longer extremely exhausted, my boobs are larger but no longer sore, and I am able to eat but still gagged out of the blue) Had my first gynae appointment in my life where my doctor told me there is only an yolk sac hence I’m at week 5 instead of 7 and prescribed me Duphaston. Is this a bad sign? I read Duphaston is to prevent miscarriages. Is my situation pessimistic? #firstbaby

I am ivf patient and its normal for preggos to get lots of progesterone support for the 1st tri. duphaston is just 1 type of progesterone! having more progesterone also means that you might have more side effects such as bloating and fatigue. measuring late could mean you ovulated or implanted late. I have had 3 mc so understand how you feel and you will not be able to have a piece of mind till your next scan. just continue to think positive!
