Patient's question:
I had an ultrasound at 50 days of pregnancy, and it said no fetal pole was seen. I was very worried, fearing it might be an empty sac. Eight days later, I had another ultrasound. Please ask if it will affect the baby.Doctor's answer:
General embryonic buds usually appear around the 50th day of pregnancy, but if implantation is delayed, they may appear later as well. It is recommended to wait and see for another week. If no embryonic bud is observed after two months, it may indicate poor development. A normal typically takes on a human-like shape by the end of the second month. However, due to your irregular menstrual cycle, it is advisable to wait another week and then have an ultrasound examination at the hospital to assess the development of the before making any decisions.
