What Causes Absence Of Embryo In The Fifth Week Of Pregnancy?

hello...According my LMP which Aug 11th...I am supposed to be 7 wks pregnant. I had my 1st ultrasound last wk and they only saw a sac and stated I am under 5 wks. This morning I had another ultrasound because I have been spotting and feeling discomfort. By the way I am HIGH risk. This will be my 11th pregnancy and only 1 full term and the rest is miscarriage. Anyways, this morning ultrasound showed the yolk sac and measured 5 wks and 3days. I have been looking at other apps and from my history at 5 wks I should be able to see the embryo. Is that normal not to see an embryo. I am very paranoid.
