What should be done if fetal pole and yolk sac are not seen in a first ultrasound?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern.

Why does the scan show 4.4 weeks gestation, despite my LMP?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I must tell you that those reports are not very convincing for a healthy pregnancy (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

My wife is 2 months pregnant, but no heartbeat seen in the scan. What to do?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I am very sorry for both of you and I understand your concern. If there is no heart beat after two months, then the baby will not be alive.

My ultrasound showed no fetus pole and yolk sac. Is it blighted ovum?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I am sorry for the previous loss. This time again it does not look very promising. Usually, by six weeks of pregnancy, fetal heart beat should be seen on the scan.

From my scan report, please assure the status of my baby.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your scan report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You are 5 weeks 1 day pregnant and usually the heartbeat is seen only after 6 weeks.
