What Causes Lack Of Foetal Pole During 7 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
Question: Hello doctor, I am 7 weeks pregnant according to my lmp, but in 6th and 7 week when my USG done , there is no foetal pole seen neither yolk sac formed. Even the cardiac activities was detected. Doctor gave me ZyHCG injection and said to take complete bed rest for a week. Then another USG should be done. Now my question is it normal and what is the main reason for not formation of yolk sac?
Brief Answer:
Ultrasound needs to be repeated
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.
In my opinion yolk sac is seen at 6 weeks and fetal pole and cardiac activity is seen at 7 weeks usually.There might be slight variation.
The delay might be there due to genetic abnormalities or unknown reasons.
Dont worry.I suggest you to repeat the ultrasound after a week.
You can wait upto 8-9 weeks.
Take healthy nutritional diet along with progesterone supplements and folic acid supplements.
Relax.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to ask further.
