Question 1

is it good if the gestational sac was found?

Accepted Answer

Probably: I would need to know more about the situation to know for sure.  In general its a good thing to see the gestational sac on ultrasound.  Its better if you also see a fetal pole and a heart-beat but these are seen a little later in pregnancy.   Best wishes!

Question 2

how many weeks would a 5 mm gestational sac be?

Accepted Answer

Approxiamtely 5 wks: A gestational sac of 5 mm would correspond with a pregnancy of approximately 5 weeks.

Question 3

empty gestational sac at 5 weeks, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The yolk sac typically appears at 5 1/2 weeks, and the embryo by 6 weeks, on transvaginal ultrasound, so 'empty' sac at 5 weeks can be normal.

Question 4

how far along is a gestational sac measuring 13mm?

Accepted Answer

I'd guess: Around 5 weeks as counted from the last menstrual period, but gestational sac size varies widely and is not a very good measure of gestational age.

Question 5

how far along is a gestational sac measuring 1.12cm?

Accepted Answer

5.3 weeks: 1.2 cm gestational sac should correspond to a 5.3 week gestation.

Question 6

what does an abnormally shaped gestational sac mean?

Accepted Answer

Miscarriage: Means an abnormal pregnancy and most likely will miscarry.

Question 7

what does an abnormal gestational sac look like at 8 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It could be small or irregular in shape. It should contain the pregnancy with a heartbeat. So if there was no heartbeat or no pregnancy inside the sac that would also be abnormal. Also the size could be smaller than expected.

Question 8

what size should a gestational sac be at 5 weeks 4 days? is 4 mm ok?

Accepted Answer

About 1 cm: Usually the sac will be larger. Usually you will start to see a yolk sac then. But this is the dilemma. If the pregnancy implanted 1-2 days later than you think it can alter what you see. So a repeat us 1 week later is much more accurate.

Question 9

is there any way to increase gestational sac size by food or medicine?

Accepted Answer

No: There are no foods, supplements or medicines to increase the size of a gestational sac.

Question 10

my gestational sac measures 8w, baby measures 7w 1d, is this dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Heartbeat?: Did the baby have  a heartbeat ? If so then it sounds like there is no problem.
