Hi I had a vaginal ultrasound done yesterday at 5 weeks and we could not see a thing my bladder was shadowing my uterus and I am deviated to the left and tipped back I was told that this is not unusual given the circumstances and that Everything is probably fine and this isnot an eptopic pregnancy is this trueand it may just be alittle to early

Answer:

While I cannot comment on the exact nature of the ultrasound findings, I would agree that at 5 weeks it can be difficult to see any evidence of a normal pregnancy.
