A tiny fetal pole refers to the early developmental stage of an embryo during pregnancy, typically seen in an ultrasound around 6-7 weeks gestation. It is the first identifiable structure that indicates the presence of an embryo and is usually a small, thickened area along the gestational sac. The size and development of the fetal pole can provide important information about the viability of the pregnancy. If the fetal pole is unusually small or not developing as expected, it may raise concerns about potential complications.
A fetal pole is typically visible on ultrasound around 6 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, you may also be able to see a heartbeat in the fetal pole.

A fetal pole is the first visible sign of a developing embryo. This pole structure actually isn't a nice straight "pole" ... it actually has some curve to it with the embryo’s head at one end and what looks like a tail at the other end. I am not sure what to tell you about what they are saying... but I do know that the fetal pole is usually best seen around 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 weeks. I hope the pregnancy is viable... I guess only time will tell that... I wish you nothing but the best...Greenidparalegal
i had an ultrasound when i was 6 weeks pregnant, but by ultrasound, the pregnancy measured to be 5 weeks, so no fetal pole was seen yet. i think the earliest fetal poles can be seen is about 6 1/2 - 7 weeks. hope this helps :)
It was difficult to see the line that represents the very beginning of the embryo. Most likely, the gestational sac was seen on the ultrasound.
At 5 weeks 5 days I had no fetal pole detected, just an empty sac. I had the same at 7.0 weeks. However, at 7.5 days a fetal pole and heartbeat could be seen. From talking to friends during the "waiting" time, it appears that most women do not see a fetal pole until about 6 weeks minimum.
Fetal, as in fetus. Same as othermammals.
From what I understand, you should see a fetal pole by that time. However, I would go back for another u/s in about a week to see if things have changed or not.
no it is not no it is not
Yes, it is possible to have a viable pregnancy with an hCG level of 21,123 even if a fetal pole is not yet visible on ultrasound. Typically, a fetal pole may be seen around the time hCG levels reach between 1,500 and 2,000 mIU/mL. However, variability in the timing of development can occur, and further monitoring and follow-up ultrasounds are usually recommended to assess the status of the pregnancy. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.
Polar Bears live in the North pole, but penguins don't.Penguins live in the south pole. Not many insects can survive at those temperatures, but there is one tiny insect that can survive at the south pole.
