Pregnancy Confirmed By Ultrasound, Difficulty In Finding Fetus. Should I Be Concerned?
my first day of my last period was jan 24 2013, i have had a postive preg test as well as an ultrasound confirming a possible early pregnancy . the u/s was redone looking for further results and the technician was having difficulty finding the fetus . is this something to be concerned about? should my pregnancy be showing more clearly on an ultrasound at this point?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Usually a fetus can be seen on an ultrasound scan at 5 weeks of gestation and cardiac activity in the fetus appears by 7 weeks. In some cases this may be delayed due to a late conception. A repeat scan after 10 days will help in confirmation.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal
