HI,
Thanks for your query. I understand your concern.
At 6 weeks gestational sac , yolk sac & fetal pole are seen. Heart sounds may appear a bit later .
You don't have fetal pole & have brown discharge too.Possibility of blighted ovum should be confirmed after repeat scan after one week.when both yolk sac & heart beats should be seen .
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
