Hello,
Thanks for writing to us. After going through the detailed history you have given, the possibility of an abnormal pregnancy seems less. Detection of a gestation sac can be done at 4 weeks, through a trans-vaginal sonogram, but not always. The sonogram must be repeated after another week. Also, since you are having serial titres of hCG, you can know the progress. The pain which you are experiencing could be due to cramps which are observed in early pregnancy. They evolve from the uterus and tubes. Hope this helps.
