A crime unpardonable!

“It is He (God) who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love)….” (al Qur'an 7:189)
Gender composition (female-to-male ratio) of J&K population in the recently released national census report-2011 has sent shock waves. While the sex ratio at the national level has risen by from 933 females per 1000 males in 2001 to 940 females per 1000 males  in 2011 (a rise of seven points); the corresponding  sex ratio in J&K has dropped from 892 to 883 (a drop of nine points). Shockingly child sex ratio (0 to 6 years) in J&K has dropped from 941 to 859 females per 1000 males (a drop of 82 points) during this period. Lowest sex ratios were recorded in Leh (583; drop of 240 points) and Kargil (584; drop of 239 points) and highest in Kulgam and Shopian (951; 11 points above national average). Jammu (871) and Srinagar (879) have registered improvements over the 2001 figures.  Selective disappearance of females could lie in selective male fertilization for unexplained reasons, female feticide through ultrasound prenatal sex determination, selectively poor nutritional and medical care of girl-child leading to high female infant mortality, and possibly a combination of the above. The present society in J&K can be compared to pre-Islamic Arab world which has been aptly depicted in the Quranic verses “When news is brought to one of them, of (the Birth of) a female (child), his face darkens and he is filled with inward grief! With shame does he hide himself from his people because of the bad news he has had! Shall he retain her on (sufferance) and contempt, or bury her in the dust? Ah! What an evil (choice) they decide on? (Al Qur'an 16: 58-59).”
Society needs a comprehensive program to reverse this mindset. Our targets should be: those boys (to shun from dowry); husbands (to love and care); families (to accommodate and accept the newlywed); brothers (to stand by her always); society (to give her dignity); police and judiciary (to hear her in pain) and Imams and elders (to protect her rights) and many more. Society has to change to accept birth of a girl-child as a blessing rather than a curse, as is realized now in the Arab World.

Hcg is 1604 and 5 weeks pregnant nothing on ultrasound? | GUIDE to ...

If your hcg level is greater than 5 it means that an egg implanted into your uterus and that you are indeed pregnant .

Honestly, if they could not see a gestational sac in your uterus at the time, they should’ve checked via ultrasound your fallopian tubes to rule out ectopic. They usually check your tubes and ovaries anyway so surely they would’ve seen this if they checked properly.

Another thing is, at 5 weeks, it may not be seen, especially if only an abdominal ultrasound was performed.

A vaginal ultrasound is the best ultrasound during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy as your uterus and baby are tucked behind your pelvis.

Hopefully they have suggested to you a repeat blood test and a repeat ultrasound.

Good Luck.
