Answer
You have to give me more information. When was the first day of her last menstrual period. If she is less than 6 weeks from the first day of her last period, a sonogram will only show a yolk sac but no fetus and no fetal heartbeat. If she is greater than 6 weeks, we may see a fetal pole and a heartbeat. At 10 weeks, we definitely see a fetus and a heartbeat. If we hear a heartbeat, there has to be a fetus seen. If there is nothing in the uterus and the blood test for pregnancy is elevated, we have to rule out the possibility of a tubal pregnancy. This, sometimes, requires surgery. You should try to obtain a copy of the sonogram report. Then you will know what is going on.
