Can a 40-day pregnancy be detected through an ultrasound?

Patient's question:

Good friend is 28 years old, her menstruation has been delayed for more than ten days, and she doesn't know if she is pregnant, she is quite nervous. Please ask: can an ultrasound detect pregnancy at 40 days?

Doctor's answer:

Actually, you don't need to take a B to check for pregnancy. You can go to the hospital to check blood hCG or urine hCG. At 40 days, the embryo is just starting to grow and develop, so you can't see a fetal heartbeat or fetal bud, but you can confirm whether it's an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. If you just want to check if you're pregnant, blood or urine hCG is more convenient and faster. Finally, in daily life, it's important to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery from illness.
