6 weeks no baby

How common is it to have an ultrasound at 6 weeks and have no baby seen on ultrasound?  
According to my MD, I am exactly 6weeks pregnant today; I went for a transvaginal ultrasound, but no signs of pregnancy seen on ultrasound.  My doctor tells me that my hormone levels are within normal range, but I am worried that I might have miscarried.  I was pregnant two years ago (at age 26) and I had a miscarriage with no explanation.  I have a very good idea of when I conceived.  Based on that date, I should be 4 weeks pregnant.  Is it too early based on that, for anything to be seen on an ultrasound.  I have had cramping, but no bleeding.  I am wondering if I am or have had a miscarriage.  I did take Clomid to assist with my ovulation, I am curious whether or not this has anything to do with nothing being seen on the ultrasound.  Any feedback with this would be greatly appreciated.  I am trying very hard to stay positive, but I am almost at the point of giving up.

i had a trans vaginal ultrasound done at exactly 6 weeks...they saw nothing..only a possible gestational sac (the technician thought it was just a pocket of fluid from my previous d&c) There was no heartbeat..or echo...my doctor was concerned but when i had my ultrasound at 10 weeks there was a perfect baby in there!

yes, that was the date from my LMP. 5w6d. I know when I conceived. I'm 15w2d now. It's easy to miss a pregnancy that early. We didn't even see it on the abdominal u/s until after 6weeks. I had transvaginal first.

Thank you for your encouragement.  I really  hope that you are right.  Your 5weeks/6days and baby was seen on u/s,  was that the day from your LMP or from the date you conceived?  Again thank you.  I am definitely trying to be positive...it's very difficult.

If you are 4 week's, when you probably won't see a heartbeat until your at least 7 or 8 weeks... I wouldn't worry too much about it. Do you pregnant?

If your pregnant and only 4 weeks, your levels may be perfect and nice and high, but you may not see anything on U/S. I didn't see anything at my 4 week 3-4day U/S then went back a week later and saw a sac and heartbeat! (5w6d)

Keep your spirits up and dont stress too much.
