Also Andrea - when they did the ultrasound on me at 5 weeks 6 days and saw nothing my HCG was 10,000! My baby first showed up at 62,000 HCG! and then it was just the tiniest flickering grain of rice. It is normal to not see your baby yet. You cannot go on HCG anyway. It is meaningless to try and understand HCG it unless it is way to high or it drops/stops climbing. You are worrying yourself over nothing here. 80% of women would see nothing no embryo on a scan at less than 5 weeks. You should re-book for another scan - not in a week - in two weeks - or at least a week and half, or you are not giving your baby a reasonable chance to show up. You are too early yet. You could have ovulated late in your cycle. Your baby could have taken a while getting implanted and established and before 6.5 weeks they do not grow at a millimeter a day. After 6.5 weeks growth is usually rapid and every day makes a big difference. But at your stage your little one is not big enough to be seen yet. Give him another week and a half at least before you start getting worried - remember what wikipedia says: 'it is quite normal not to see the embryo on ultrasound until the 8th week of pregnancy'.
