Hi,
Usually gestational sac is seen at 5 weeks gestation in USG scan. You had periods on 11th October & got pregnancy test positive in just 19 days, this is also not possible. If it was so, you might have conceived during your last menses or it was a false positive test.
Gestational sac once seen in USG can disappear in case it is a chemical pregnancy without an embryo which has aborted naturally.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
Very difficult to comment without Beta hCG values regarding pregnancy.
It may not a gestational sac as it was not seen further.If hCG was positive, we could have doubted pregnancy.
