Hello
Thanks for your query.
On the 8th of may, you should have been 8 weeks by ultrasound.
A definite embryo with a fetal pole should have been seen, else the pregnancy is categorized as a missed abortion or a non viable pregnancy.
the only exception is if you had delayed periods, and the pregnancy will grow normally, but late.
However at a gestational sac size of 6 weeks 5 days, there should definitely be an embryo seen.
Take care.
