Hello,
Thank you for your query.

5 weeks is too early to see anything on a scan.

Wait for another two - three weeks.
Repeat a scan. This should tell you, more accurately, about the growth of the baby. By this time a heart best is usually seen.

An abdominal scan shows positive results later than a vaginal scan. So if scan is done abdominally wait for Another week

Don't lose hope or stress too much.
I understand your concern completely. It is a tough time and difficult to wait and not worry.
Keep yourself constructively occupied.
Take it one day at a time.
Eat healthy and stay hydrated.
The first few weeks are important in your baby's development.
Hope this reassures you.
Take care. Wish you good health
