Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the gestational sac is seen around 6
weeks in abdominal ultrasound and fetal pole and yolk sac are seen around 7 weeks.The cardiac activity is seen around 8 weeks.All these changes are seen 1 week earlier in transvaginal ultrasound.So dont worry.I suggest you to repeat the ultrasound after 2 weeks to see the progress.Finding of gestational sac at 5-6 weeks might be a normal finding.So relax.Avoid stress.Take healthy nutritional diet and prenatals.Avoid physical strain and intercourse.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
