Hi,
If you are having a 5 week embryo then heart beat is not expected at the moment and you can wait until the 7th week scan. If you LMP dates are corresponding th a 9 week pregnancy then your dates might be wrong by 4 weeks. This happens when there is thin or scanty periods and you might not have noticed. It cannot be called miscarriage at this stage and you should wait for 15 days before heart beat evaluation.
