Why Is My Gestational Sac Missing?
Hi, I went to the doctor on this past monday and it was confirmed that the gestational sac was growing properly and the beginning of a yolk sac was visible. Today, i went to the doctor and there was no sign of a yolk sac whatsoever. On monday, iam scheduled to be 7 weeks preg. What is happening?

Hello
Non visualization of yolk sac and fetal pole may indicate miscarriage.Fetal pole and yolk sac should be visualized by this time.
You may need follow up scan after 10 days.It is important to know about bleeding/spotting,passage of clots.
If fetal pole is still not visualized in follow up scan then it may be considered as missed abortion.
I suggest for trans vaginal sonography(TVS) in follow up.It increases sensitivity.
Wish you all the best.
Take care
