Hello
Fetal heart beat may not be visualized in 6 weeks.It may be due to many reasons like excess maternal fat,wrong date etc.
You are rightly suggested for follow up ultrasound after 2 weeks.
If fetal pole is still not visualized in follow up scan then it may be considered as missed abortion.
I suggest for trans vaginal sonography(TVS) in follow up.It increases sensitivity.
Wish you all the best
Take care
