Can Delayed Ovulation And Delayed Conception Can Lead To A Smaller Gestation Period?
Question: Dear,
I had my first TV ultrasound yesterday and All the OB could see was an empty gestational sac.
LM PERIOD 24/02/18 EGA 6 WEEKS 5 DAYS.
AS PER U/S REPORT -
YOLK SAC AND FETAL POLE IS NOT YET SEEN. THE CERVIX IS NORMAL IN LENGTH. OVARIES ARE NORMAL
GROWTH PARAMETERS: MSD 8.9MM EGA 5-6 WEEKS
OB scheduled me for a second ultrasound NEXT week and suggested that I just might not be far enough along. We've been ttc and I can't help but panic . Anyone have any words of advice

Brief Answer:
Some more information. Repeat USG. Continue with present treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
First of all do not panic. I can understand your situation, as you planning to get pregnant and USG report is a bit different than expected.
In my opinion, you should patiently wait for 7 to 10 days and repeat USG after that.
Sometimes, delayed ovulation and delayed conception can lead to smaller gestation period.
I would like to know about few things more.
1. Are you taking any other supporting hormone injection or tablets?
Please let me know it's name.
2. Do you have history of regular periods?
3. Have you undergone USG follicular study in the last cycle of February 24th?
In the mean time, take rest avoid exertion.
Keep taking prenatal vitamins.
Please feel free to communicate with me again. I hope this answer helps you.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Review USG. Continue with the treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
In my opinion, there is not much delay in ovulation.
Accordingly, fetal pole and yolk sac should have been visible by now.
Please do continue with the treatment as suggested by your Gynecologist. Only, review USG will be able to tell us about the viability and growth of the pregnancy.
So, I will suggest you to be patient and wait for next USG .
Please report to your treating doctor if you get any kind of pain in abdomen and per vaginal bleeding.
*Think positive.
*Meditate regularly.
Things will be fine in the due course of time.
I hope this answer helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
