Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 9 weeks pregnant as per my last period date. But in USS, it is showing only six weeks and six days old sac. No yolk sac found, but the decidual reaction is good. My periods were irregular. As the yolk sac is not developed, my doctor advised for abortion. Is there any hope in my case?

Answered by Dr. Nadia Khan

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If someone is having irregular periods then calculating the duration of pregnancy from the last date of the menstrual period is not correct. If ultrasound is showing six weeks then probably that is your right. Duration of pregnancy. I would suggest you repeat scan after a week and also go for two blood tests for pregnancy hormone 48 hours apart to see whether the pregnancy is viable or not. It will help you to determine what to do next.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
