Hi...I really need some answer for this... my last period date was 15th of july, and I found out on August 17th that am pregnant, my urine sample result was positive. So I consulted a VOG on 24th of August, he asked me to come for my 1st scan on 19th on this month, but scan couldnt find my baby or heartbeat. ..Doctor gave me some medicine & asked me to visit after 1 week...It was today and same thing happened. ..am really worried & stressed. ...Please I need to know is this normal....?

This can happen when the pregnancy is too early. Next scan will show the pregnancy in that case. However this can rarely be due to an early miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the womb). To confirm the situation you need to undergo a blood test and a scan by an experienced gynaecologist using a modern scan machine.
