Hi
Do you have regular cycles?
Did you do a pregnancy test? If so when was it done? This information is important to know to help you better.
There are two possibilities. The first possibility is probably you ovulated late and conceived late.
The second possibility is probably this is not a healthy pregnancy and the pregnancy is not growing.
I would advise you to repeat ultrasound after 8-10 days expecting to see fetal pole if it is a healthy pregnancy. This will make things clear.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
I find this answer helpful
