Hiya,
I just wanted to tell you about my story, because I too was in your position, and spent 2 weeks worrying myself sick before I had another scan and spent hours googling and researching other peoples stories.
I went for a scan at 5wks6days (by my dates I thought I was 6wks4days)after having slight bleeding, I had both an U/S and an internal scan and was told they could only see a gestational sac and no fetal pole, or yolk sac. I was told that they do expect to at least see a yolk sac but to return in 2 weeks.
I spent hours googling, reading horror stories and actually made myself sick. I was convinced I "knew my body and something was wrong". I too felt like I just felt too healthy to be pregnant. I has tender breasts at night, I was a bit sleepy, my appetite was there one minute and the next i felt sick.
A week later I got more dark brown bleeding, and went to see my doctor. He looked at my notes and told me I was probably miscarrying and to go home and wait for my scan to confirm it. I came home and cried for 2 days until I finally had enough and went into the Early Pregnancy Unit. My partner and I were prepared to hear the baby wasnt there when the sonographer finally said "theres baby, and theres his/her little heart beating away, its very strong!". I was also told I was exactly 8 weeks. And that was all 10 days after I was told I was only 5wks6days.
Basically don't give up hope. I cant say everything will be the same for you, but every woman is completely different. Its amazing the difference a few days can make. I know its hard to stop worrying, but its not unusual to feel "not very pregnant"...I eventually got extremely bad nausea (to the point anytime i thought about food i wanted to vomit!!) but it only lasted a week or so. It annoys me when people say that yes you must see this and that at an exact date. No 2 pregnancies are the same good luck, and take care xx
