Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Yesterday, I went to my gynecologist for the first time after my pregnancy test came out positive. She did the ultrasound, and she said that the baby is not growing because the sac measures 9 mm and it is too small. Is this correct?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
When was the first day of your last menstruation? I saw the ultrasound, and it seems to be a normal gestation intrauterine sac. Anyway, from the photo, I did not see the embryo (attachment removed to protect patient identity). We have to calculate the exact gestation age. Anyway, I would recommend an ultrasound after two weeks, or you can evaluate the well being of pregnancy with a b-hCG level.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
It was in the first week of the previous month, but the last one was irregular. So I cannot count on menstruation. If it makes a difference the first time, we tried for a baby. She keeps on saying it is a miscarriage. Can it be it is too early? Because it is impossible to have six weeks of pregnancy, as shown in the ultrasound.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
In six weeks, the embryo will be seen on the transvaginal scan. But the follow up will show if the gestation will develop or not.
