Question 1

Had ultrasound on 6 weeks , among three embryos, fetal pole, yolk sac is present in all, but heartbeat is seen in one only. is there any complication.

Accepted Answer

Possibly only 1 is viable
recheck ultrasound in 1 week to see if others have heartbeat.

Question 2

Preg dates iffy yolk sac no heartbeat 1st u/s. 6 d later small fetal pole no hb. bhcg rising >28k. blighted ovum w fetalpole present? any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Your doctor. I am sure you are very anxious, but these questions always involve some waiting to see what happens. If you do not trust your doctor's advice  for any reason, then 1) talk honestly with him/her about it, and 2) if necessary see another doctor.

Question 3

Can a yolk sac b mistaken for a fetal pole ?

Accepted Answer

Anything is possible, but a yolk sac appears before a fetal pole and is a circular structure. The fetal pole appears slightly later and has a different appearance. Repeat imaging should clear up any confusion.

Question 4

Is it possible to see a fetal pole, but no yolk sac? isn't the fetal pole a measurement of the outer yolk sac?

Accepted Answer

The yolk sac is visible and growing from about week 5-10. Then, it begins to decrease in size and ultimately disappears. If the doctor sees a fetal pole with a heartbeat then visualization of a yolk sac is not particularly important.

Question 5

I am 5weeks and 1day, did an ultrasound and they couldn't find the yolk sac or fetal pole.. is this a problem?

Accepted Answer

You are right at the cusp of when the yolk sac can be seen. You likely need a repeat ultrasound in 1-2 weeks to reassess.

Question 6

6w5d had a u/s that showed a sac yolk sac but no fetal pole or hb my hcg levels are normal and rising, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Typically a fetal pole can be seen by 6 wk and 5 days but no definitive diagnosis should be made. A repeat sonogram should be done in 1-2 weeks to determine if the pregnancy is developing normally

Question 7

Can just seeing the gestational sac and yolk sac and no fetal pole or heartbeat normal at 6 weeks and 2 days?

Accepted Answer

At 6-7 weeks usually a heartbeat can be seen. Often people are wrong about the date they got pregnant. The sonogram show they got pregnant at a different time than they expected. Your sonogram should be repeated in about a week to see if a heartbeat can be seen.

Question 8

Around 5 wks preg. on jan. 6 hcg was 13,200 & jan 8 it was 23,000. had iu us on 8th. yolk sac visible, but no fetal pole. hcg too high for +outcome?

Accepted Answer

At 5 weeks, you may only be able to see the yoke sac.  This doesn't mean something is wrong.  You don't always see a heart-beat until 6.5 to 7 weeks.  Remember that 5 weeks is only 3 weeks from conception.  Its very early.  I wouldn't worry at this point.  You might consider repeating the scan at 7 or 8 weeks.  Best wishes!

Question 9

1st vag. scan i was 5w1d no fetal pole only yolk sac. 5 days later vag scan measures me 5w5d. still only yolk sac seen. i had iui and should be 7w2d??

Accepted Answer

to do is be patient and follow the ultrasound during the coming 1-2 weeks. This situation could go either way, but should give you a clear answer very soon - good luck in the meantime.

Question 10

4 weeks preg. was told i have a saclike structure within fundal endometrium w/o a fetal pole or yolk sac. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

It is too early to see a yolk sac or a fetal pole. Repeat your ultrasound in 2 weeks. If you are bleeding then you can do blood HCG every 48 hours and see if it is increasing adequately.
