Hi,

HCG levels have to be 1000, for visualization of gestational sac on ultrasound.
So please do not worry, it is a normal finding at 4 weeks not to be able to visualize any sac.
Please continue your folic acid and repeat scan after 10 days as correctly advised by your doctor.

Dont worry.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
