I'm 6 weeks pregnant and recently had an internal ultrasound at around 5 weeks 4 days, but it only showed the sac without the fetus pole. They're asking me to come back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound, and honestly, I'm a bit worried. I'm 34 and taking folic acid and Susten 200, but I'm not sure if there's anything else I should be doing, like any specific injections or medicines to help with the fetus development. My doctor mentioned there's a 5050 chance, and since I'm not really experiencing much nausea or sickness, I'm just curious if that could mean anything. What should I be aware of or ask about next?
