Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Hello, I had my last menstrual period on September 25th. By November 21st, I tested positive for PH (previously negative). However, on the 29th, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, which showed an anterior-posterior diameter of 4.5 cm, with a gestational sac echo found in the uterine cavity, measuring approximately 1.01.0 cm. The shape was regular, but the inner cell mass and heartbeat were not clearly visible. What is going on? Is this normal? Is there any way to resolve this!Doctor's answer:
Hello: This is because the earliest pregnancy sac can be detected around the 40th day of pregnancy via ultrasound. Around the 50th day, there should be embryonic development and primitive heart tube. Due to individual variations in ovulation timing, there may be some fluctuations.Advice: Don't worry. The fetus has a heartbeat and is developing well. Regular prenatal check-ups are sufficient. Alternatively, you can have a follow-up ultrasound in three or four days to confirm whether the pregnancy sac has developed a heartbeat. If there is still no heartbeat, the pregnancy cannot be retained.
