What Does The US Report With Intrauterine Gestational Sac Indicate?
HI, I missed my periods on the 22nd of oct 2010 and then went for an u/s on 14th nov. 2010.The results show that I have a single intrauterine gestational sac of about 7+weeks. The gestational age as per LMP is 5 weeks 5 days.But the reports show no obvious fetal pole and a follow up u/s is suggested.I am really worried.Is everything OK?

HI, I understand your concern. Your US report suggests - - early conception, in your previous cycle with a blighted ovum.( a chemical pregnancy.. without formation of fetus so there is no fetal pole ) Such pregnancies usually automaticallyterminate / need termination done. OR - The reading of gestational sac size might be wrong, if you had conceived after 22nd of october, USG scan in just 3 weeks of pregnancy sac won't be visible.. & you may have to wait for 2 more weeks for the fetal pole to appear. * IN such condition, it's advised to take second opinion/ repeate the USG scan after 2 weeks to get confirmed diagnosis & line of treatment according to gynecologist's advise. thanks.
