Is It Normal Not To See A Yolk Sac At 6 Weeks?

I went and had an ultrasound two days ago and the doctor didn t want to talk to me about what was going on, I m meant to be 11 weeks pregnant today. But the ultrasound said I was only 6 weeks. Which is pretty much a whole month different. In the report it says they can t see a yolk sac which doesn t make sense. I just need someone to go through this with me. Please

Hello,

First of all, do not panic. In my opinion, your concern about the gestational age is quite right. If you have a history of irregular periods or if there were delayed ovulation, and conception; then you can suspect such difference in gestational age and pregnancy size. Usually, the yolk sac is seen after six weeks. I will suggest you get repeat ultrasound done after two weeks from now. Till then please seek prescription support from your treating doctor for tablets of Doxylamine with vitamin B 6 and Folic acid and Micronized natural progesterone.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
