According to LMP, should be 7 weeks and 1 day. Transvaginal ultrasound today indicated that I was only 5 weeks 4 days. The gestational sac was very clear on the screen but there was no yolk sac. If the technician measured correctly then 5 weeks 4 days Is just about the time you would start to see a yolk sac. I have to go back in 10 days for another ultrasound but it seems soooooo far away. The only symptoms I've had has been breast tenderness, minimal fatigue. I've had no nausea, no bleeding, mild cramping. Does anyone have any encouraging words? The suspense is hard to deal with.
What else can I help you with?
How far along do you have to be to get a fetal pole?
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.
Why fetal pole is not present in 6 weeks?
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 :)
What is visible on an ultrasound at 6 weeks?
At 6 wks pregnant, on ultrasound, you can see the gestational sac ( the home of the baby). Unless you have an endovag ultrasound, then you can see a very small fetal pole and a small heart beat. It is very hard to see anything at that early of pregnancy.
Can you have a viable pregnancy when hcg levels are 21123 without a fetal pole?
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.
If there is no fetal pole at 8 weeks is pregnancy still viable?
yes
What does it mean if you were told you had an invalid pregnancy after two ultrasounds but after a vaginal ultrasound they said there is a 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
Is your first ultrasound after in vitro fertilization vaginal?
It is called a transvaginal ultrasound. A new pregnancy typically cannot be visualized until the HCG levels reach between 4,000-5,000. This is when the gestational sac, fetal pole and yolk sac can be visualized. Cardiac activity is typically not seen on an ultrasound until 6 to 7 weeks gestation.
Is it normal not to have a fetal heartbeat in 6 weeks of pregnancy butthere is a fetal pole and sac?
My doctor is checking me at 7 weeks because it is usually detectable sometime between 6 1/2 and 7 weeks.
If you are 8 weeks pregnant is it normal for the ultrasound to show the yolk and small fetal pole but you cannot see the heart beat?
no it is not no it is not
If your ultrasound measured 6 weeks 4 days but no fetal pole was seen what are your chances of a miscarriage?
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.
Can an internal ultrasound detect pregnancy before implantation?
From just over 5 weeks, see the associated website I had my first u/s done at less than five weeks I was probably 4.4 weeks, but all I showed was the yolk sac and the sac....no fetal pole or baby. == an internal ultrasound can detect a pregnancy much sooner than an external ultrasound, even if all it detects is a yolk sac.....there would not be a yolk sac if you were not pregnant.
What does fetal pole not well visualized mean?
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.
