What could cause no yolk sac in the gestational sac?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am six weeks and six days pregnant. My urine test is positive and beta hCG is also increasing but I am very upset about my ultrasound report. There is gestational sac in my uterus but from last week there is no yolk sac and fetal pole. I have a dark brownish discharge from six days with no cramps. Do not know what is going on with my pregnancy. This is my first pregnancy after 10 months of marriage. The doctor suggested me to wait for two more weeks. The wait is going to be long. Can someone please tell me what would be its result? Your answer will be truly appreciated.
