I'm a bit concerned because my recent TVS scan at 5 weeks and 5 days showed the yolk sac and fetal pole, but there wasn't a heartbeat detected yet. Should I be worried? Is it possible that the heartbeat will be detected in the next scan? Can you offer some guidance on what this might mean?

At 5 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy, it is not uncommon for the fetal heartbeat to not be detected yet. It is possible that the heartbeat may be detected in your next scan. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.
