A vaginal ultrasound can tell how far along you are. Also a blood test for HCG quants will tell also. Consult your doctor or clinic. It doesn't matter whether or not you have a vaginal ultrasound or one on the abdomen ultrasound is a very good way of seeing how far along you are in pregnancy and making sure that the fetus is developing accordingly if they see any problems in the development they will want to run more tests hope this helps you , Good Luck and God Bless!!!

∙ 15y agoNo. At 4 weeks gestation all that is seen by ultrasound is the gestational sac (the sac the baby grows in) and a structure called a yolk sac (contributes to fetal nutrition early on). Fetal pole should be seen at 5 weeks, with or without a heart beat depending on the size of the fetal pole.

∙ 12y agoThru both of my prenancies and by two different doctors, they always said there dates were a week give or take. So technically i would say no, they wouldn't be 100% sure whether the baby is 23 or 24 weeks. hope this help :)

∙ 18y agoyes.That's why ultrasounds are taken. Not only to be sure the baby is growing, but it is also used to determine what stage of growth the baby is in.

∙ 15y agoNo, you'll see only the yolk sac and the gestational sac which turns into the placenta.

∙ 13y agoYou can not see it on an ultrsound until later,but at 4 weeks,you can hear the heartbeat.

How can one tell how far along they are in pregnancy?
One can tell how far along they are in pregnancy by having an ultrasound. An ultrasound measures the fetus and then compare that measurement to what an average fetus is. If it matches to a 3 week fetus it means that one is 3 weeks into pregnancy.

What is used to tell what an offspring will turn out to be?
If the doctor can see a sex organ on the fetus using ultrasound, then that is a good way to tell. Otherwise, they can take a sample of amniotic fluid that surround the fetus, using a needle, then testing the fluid for male or female.
Does single live fetus on the ultrasound report mean everything is okay?
Yes. If it wasn't they would tell you that there is a problem and you need to come in to have checked out.
When is the gender of the fetus known?
it may be possible to tell the baby's gender at the 20 week ultrasound but then it just depends what position the baby is lying in.

By seeing a doctor for a work-up. Often, they will need to do imaging (CT scan, ultrasound) for a definitive diagnosis.
Would an ultrasound be able to tell the difference between a fetus at 4wks3days and 7wks3days from conception your scan showed a faint flicker of a heartbeat which date is it more likely to be?
Absolutely a scan can tell the difference within 3 weeks at this stage. The heartbeat would be visible at both 7 and 10 weeks (which you would be pregnancy wise). Measurements are taken to date the pregnancy so you need to ask the doctor/tech/nurse how many weeks pregnant you are.
How can you tell how far pregnant you are if you do not know the exact day of your last normal period?
That would be a good question for your doctor. The doctor might suggest an ultrasound. From the ultrasound picture, the technician can estimate how old the fetus is and predict your due date.
Basically at 6 weeks you can't tell in an ultrasound?
at 6 weeks you can see the heart (it will be a very tiny circle that is beating) and see a small oval shaped fetus in the uterus. you cannot tell this soon about the sex of the baby or any other features like hands or feet. the sex and baby's features can be determined at about 21 weeks on ultrasound.
Why have you missed your period and took 3 pregnancy tests that showed positive but your ultrasound don't see any fetus?
The fetus may not be completely developed yet, it could be too soon to tell. Or there may have been a miscarriage. Pregnancy Test have glitches, sometimes they're wrong. As for the period, for some women it's regular to be irregular. Some women go years between their cycles.
