This usually means that it's most likely an ectopic pregnancy and you should immediatly contact a doctor. Ectopic pregnancies are not viable, meaning that the birth cannot proceed to full term or else you and the fetus will not survive.The fetus in the Fallopian tube cannot grow to full term.The longer you wait the higher danger there is for a female's tube to burst or rupture, a life threatening situation.
No, it's still called an ultrasound or a sonogram.
Usually sonograms are not done until 8 weeks of pregnancy. Did you do the home test or blood test? If you are still concerned, ask your doctor for a blood pregnancy test.
yes the home pregnancy test is wrong because accuracy wise the blood test for pregnancy which more clinics and hospitals use is more accurate than urine test for pregnancy which is the one frequently used in home pregnancy test or the quick kit test for pregnancy.
Go with the sonogram unless you have absolute knowledge.
No, it is very safe. This is a common way of verifing early pregnancy.
An internal sonogram can show pregnancy as soon as 4 weeks. There will likely show an amniotic sac which is the first to form during pregnancy. Within a week after that you can see the fetus start to form. The heartbeat will likely show around 8 weeks.
I assume the sonogram was ordered by your son's physician. Is there something to worry about? Possibly. The doctor, or your son or son's partner, had to find something he/she felt was worth investigating further (unless your son simply demanded the sonogram). Whatever it is, and it could be nothing at all, finding it early is much better than finding it later.
You should ask the doctor to perform a blood test for bHCG levels. If you are experiencing symptoms of pregnancy including lactation, it is important to rule out an ectopic pregnancy (i.e. a pregnancy occurring outside of your Fallopian tubes). I presume this is why the pelvic scan has been performed, but without knowing any more detail about your case anything else would be pure speculation.
yes. some women have a light period thoughout pregnancy
There are a few reasons that this could happen: 1) You were pregnant within the last 12 weeks and you still have the hormones circulating in your blood (either just delivered a baby, had a miscarriage, or an abortion). 2) You have what is called a "chemical pregnancy" where your body starts the work of being pregnant by making the hormones (which causes a positive pregnancy test) but never actually starts making the embryo. 3) You are pregnant but the embryo has implanted outside of your uterus (like in your fallopian tube) - this is called an ectopic pregnancy and is very dangerous. If you start having abdominal pain this is a symptom of this type of pregnancy - CALL YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY! 4) Some medications can cause increases in your HCG level (the pregnancy hormone). 5) There are medical disorders that may cause increased HCG levels. 6) The ultrasound machine had poor resolution and the technician was unable to see your tiny embryo (not the likely cause - but a possibility). You should talk to your doctor so that he/she can determine what the cause is for you.
i need a sonogram on line
The size and development of the fetus viewed on the sonogram indicates the age and therefore gives a good estimate of date of conception. The age is more closely determined in early pregnancy and becomes a little less accurate as the fetus grows but it is still possible to estimate the age of the fetus throughout the pregnancy.
