The ultrasound dating has excellent and precise estimation of gestation especially if done in the first trimester (first 12 weeks). After 12 weeks, its accuracy goes down. However, compared to dating according to menstrual cycle, the ultrasound would be more accurate.
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.
its not bad dnt worry but its just to early
Yes you are most likely pregnant but too early to show on an ultrasound. Your Dr should have made a follow up apointment with you in about 4 weeks.
the baby is gana be small
It is not possible to determine the sex by ultrasound until about 19 weeks along. If you do an amniocentesis, you can normally find out around 12 weeks.
The sex of your baby can be determined by ultrasound at 16 weeks. Doctors will usually do an ultrasound at 20 weeks.
At this stage, yes the ultrasound can be off by 10 days. Mine was off by ten days the other way, that is I thought I was 18 weeks and the ultrasound said 16 and a half. I knew when I had conceived because my husband had been away on a trip.
You can't. Either you got pregnant after having had sex earlier, or the ultrasound operator is wrong.
Usually the doctors say the age is LMP. So if they say 15 weeks, it'd be about 13 weeks since conception.
You can usually see the sac on ultrasound at five weeks. It may be six weeks until you can see an embryo. A pap smear can't tell if you're pregnant; it's a screening test for cervical cancer and precancerous changes on the cervix.
In March I was 10 weeks pregnant and was spotting very lightly. I went to the hospital and they did an ultrasound. They told me that at 10 weeks they should be able to at least see the heart beating even though it might be too soon to see the baby. When they did the ultrasound all they saw was the sac. There was no heartbeat. I had a full miscarriage a few days later. It was determined by blood tests that I had miscarried about five weeks prior and was just now discharging the fetus. I pray that this is not the situation for you, and you have a healthy baby!
it is called a blighted ovum if your counting of the age of gestation is correct and yet no baby is formed except of the sac. on the otherhand if you are not sure of your counting then do an ultrasound 1-2 weeks after your first ultrasound to see whether the baby develops or not at all. just cant flawlessly explain the blighted ovum. check out on the web or much better ask your physician.
