No, by that stage in a pregnancy, the baby would be ready to be delievered and would definitely show up on an ultrasound.
Ultrasound is particularly useful in distinguishing between intrauterine (within the uterus) and ectopic (outside the uterus) pregnancies.
From just over 5 weeks, see the associated website I had my first u/s done at less than five weeks I was probably 4.4 weeks, but all I showed was the yolk sac and the sac....no fetal pole or baby. == an internal ultrasound can detect a pregnancy much sooner than an external ultrasound, even if all it detects is a yolk sac.....there would not be a yolk sac if you were not pregnant.
External ultrasounds can only detect pregnancy when you are more than about 5-6 weeks wereas if you have an internel ultrasound they can detect pregnancy from as early as 4weeks. In answer to your question you are either not as far gone as originally thort and would have to have a internal ultrasound to dertimine/detect pregnancy or you are just not pregnant.AnswerI'm suprised that they wouldn't tell you when you got it done. The fetus at that age is so small its very possible that you could not see it. Or you are not as far along as you thought and it was just a yolk sack.
You can estimate by measuring fundal height and using Naegel's rule or have an ultrasound to detect age of pregnancy.
the earliest this can detect pregnancy is 5 weeks after last menstrual cycle so yes the tech. may be abl;e to see the embryo.
yes, you can see the heartbeat on an ultrasound.
No, these devices do not cause cancer or they would not be used in hospitals. They can detect cancer and are also used on pregnancy so they do not cause cancer!
The best and most reliable way to confirm a twin or multiple pregnancy is to see it with an ultrasound. An ultrasound is the only guaranteed way to know whether you're carring more than one baby. An ultrasound may be able to detect multiple embryos as early as your third week of pregnancy; However, the ultrasound will be most reliable at detecting a multiple or twin pregnancy at around 6 to 8 weeks.
yes, i had a doctor tell me that an ultrasound will not show a pregnancy until 5 weeks. that is not a fact but just what i was told. when i was pregnant the ultrasound lady had a hard time seeing my baby and i was 5 weeks, i had to go back the next week and she saw the baby perfect.
It is not likely. The earliest an ultrasound can usually detect pregnancy is about 5 1/2 weeks. Although you may be able to see a little sac (with essentially nothing in it) a heart beat may not be able to be detected. This is nothing to worry about though. Implantation occurs at Week 2 of pregnancy so it is not likely that implantation would be able to be seen with an ultrasound.
my step sister had a baby and she had her first ultra sound at 2 months so yes i believe it's still early. Actually I had an Ultrasound done at 5 weeks and 5 days. They were able to see the sac, baby and pick up the heart beat at 122 bpm. So no, it it not too early to get an ultrasound.
