Yes they can it's very small and looks nothing like a baby and usually an internal ultrasound is perormed. This is a small pole that they insert into your vagina as it's easier to see from there as the pregnancy is actually very tiny wht's shown will appear on the screen but I doubt you'd be able to make anything out unless you knew what you were looking for. Due to the small size of the pregnancy it's unlikley a doctor would want to do an ultrasound at this stage unless it was to determine absoloutely that you were pregnant in the first place, which is unlikley as there are other ways of telling.

However, during weeks 3 and 4 when the gestational age (or fetal age) is 2 weeks, the earliest change that can be seen with a vaginal ultrasound is the "decidual reaction" which is the thickening of the endometrium. The endometrium lining thickens as the blastocyst burrows into it. This cannot always be detected by ultrasound-sometimes it may take a special eye or hi-resolution equipment to see this "reaction" in the endometrium lining at that very early stage.
And remember that when using ultrasounds, it is the transvaginal ultrasound which can detect development in the uterus about a week earlier than a transabdominal ultrasound.

Can you see the fetus at an ultrasound during 5 weeks pregnancy?
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.
When does the doctor feel the pulse of the baby in first pregnancy?
Every woman is different but most dr's are able to let you hear the baby's heartbeat around the 10 week point in pregnancy. A heartbeat should be visible on an ultrasound at around 5 to 7 weeks of pregnancy.

Can an ectopic pregnancy be diagnosed by CT scan?
It is not the usual choice. An ultrasound would be the first choice.
If you are 11 weeks pregnant and had a ultrasound and saw nothing on the ultrasound does it mean you are going to miss carry?
The first trimester of a pregnancy lasts up until week 12. If you are 11 weeks pregnant and you have a competent sonographer, there is NO WAY you could miss seeing an intrauterine pregnancy (a normal pregnancy inside the uterus). If you had an ultrasound and the sonographer didn't see anything (even as early as 5 or 6 weeks you should see a gestational sac) then you have probably miscarried already. Take another pregnancy test with your doctor's guidance. Another scenario that might come up (if your pregnancy test is still positive) is that you might have an ectopic pregnancy (where the egg implanted OUTSIDE of the uterus). This is fairly common but can be a serious disorder. The egg can implant anywhere in the pelvis or abdomen, but if you're 11 weeks along and you're not in a lot of pain, then that's probably unlikely. Go back and talk to your doctor.
Can you take panadol in the early stages of pregnancy?
No, when pregnant they say Tylenol if you absolutely need anything but you should always check with your doctor first.
How far along in pregnancy do you have to be before you know the sex?
Typically gender is first found out during an ultrasound performed around the 16 to 22 week point of pregnancy.
Do you need an ultrasound to tell if you have an ectopic pregnancy?
Yes, you do. An ectopic pregnancy is just like a "regular" pregnancy for the first few weeks. Everything feels the same. An ultrasound is done early in a pregnancy to check things out, and if a pregnancy is ectopic, a good ultrasound technician will be able to spot it. There is no other non-invasive way to discover an ectopic pregnancy, and because of the risks posed by an ectopic pregnancy, it is critical to discover it early - if in fact there is one. Ectopic pregnancies are invariably life-threatening events, and prenatal care is important for that and many other reasons.
Are there any symptoms of pregnancy in the first week?
No it is far to early to say anything about pregnancy in the first week.
I have an ultrasound scheduled on the 30th of this month if I am pregnant would they be able to see anything on the ultrasound even though it is only two weeks after ovulation?
If you were pregnant the developing embryo would be about the size of the head of a pin. The embryo is not the first sign of pregnancy found on ultrasound; the yolk sac shows up long before the embryo is visible. The yolk sac can't be seen uon ultrasound until at least four weeks after the last period.
