Hello,
First of all, do not panic. As you might be aware that yolk sac is a structure attached with an embryo- baby, for its nutrition in early pregnancy. The reason for not finding the baby and only finding the yolk sac can be small pregnancy duration may be due to delayed ovulation and delayed conception.
I will suggest you get a repeat ultrasound done after two weeks. Please start on Folic acid and vitamin B 12 supplements. Option for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
