Patient's question:
Last menstrual period was on March 14th. After April 10th, the pregnancy test showed positive. On the 24th, there was vaginal bleeding. A hospital ultrasound revealed no pregnancy. What could be the reason?Past treatment history and effectiveness: Had many induced abortions. What kind of help is needed: Is it possible to be pregnant with a phantom pregnancy or have experienced a miscarriage?
Doctor's answer:
This is what you didn't understand—the words you said themselves are wrong. This is as simple as using paper to carefully check if you are pregnant. An ultrasound doesn't function to check if you are pregnant. Instead, an ultrasound is done to see if the gestational sac is inside or outside the uterus. During early pregnancy, an ultrasound cannot yet see the gestational sac, which is why there is a time difference when you detect pregnancy. The phenomenon of an ultrasound not being able to see the gestational sac is generally recommended to wait a week before visiting a doctor, rather than saying the ultrasound showed no pregnancy—that's not the case. What I'm saying is that you areing the wrong thing.
