Why does the ultrasound not appear at 40 days of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Why doesn't the ultrasound show anything at 40 days of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally you can do an early pregnancy test around day 35 of your missed period or have a blood HCG test 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and ensure proper nutrition, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be done.
For miscarriage, it is best to consider a conventional surgical procedure. Medical abortion is prone to incomplete miscarriage, which can lead to severe bleeding. Painless abortion can easily cause uterine perforation. The safest method is a hysteroscopic-guided surgical procedure for uterine aspiration. Postoperatively, there are no residual tissues, so it does not cause heavy bleeding, making it the safest option.
