At 5 weeks of pregnancy, there is no fetal pole or primitive cardiovascular. Is this normal?

Patient's question:

Doctor:
  Hello! Is it normal not to see fetal and primitive cardiovascular at 5 weeks of pregnancy? The uterine diameter is 1.6cm

Doctor's answer:

The situation you mentioned, where there is no visible fetal heartbeat during pregnancy, is normal. Generally, the fetal heartbeat can be seen between 42 and 56 days of pregnancy. In your case, you can rest in bed and undergo fetal preservation treatment. After the treatment, we can observe the development of the gestational sac. If the gestational sac develops normally after preservation, then there should be no issues.
