Question 1

it's consider normal a gestational sac of 5.5mm at 5 weeks + 1day with yolk sac and incipient embryonic pole?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I think you are asking if it is normal at 5 weeks to only see a yolk sac located in the gestational sac. If so then yes that is what is expected. A fetal pole can be seen after the 6th week.

Question 2

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 3

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 4

what does an abnormally shaped gestational sac mean?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 5

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 6

gestational sac look like when miscarried?

Accepted Answer

Empty: Usually the sac will be empty
may be partially collapsed
may contain some degenerated fetal tissue  remains
will not have a viable fetus in it.

Question 7

is triangular shape of gestational sac normal?

Accepted Answer

It depends: The triangular shape is made by the uterine cavity, so depending on the angle of the ultrasound shot, it is possible for the sac to appear triangular in shape. This is to be distinguished from an 'irregular' shaped sac which invariable suggests a poor outcome for the embryo.

Question 8

how much older is the gestational sac than the fetus?

Accepted Answer

Gestational Sac: The gestational sac is the first ultrasound sign of pregnancy.  You will usually see it beginning 5 weeks from your last menstrual period.  By 6 weeks you should see the yolk sac and by 6 and 1/2 to 7 weeks the embryo.

Question 9

what is the difference between gestational sac and fibroid?

Accepted Answer

A fibroid : Is also called a leiomyoma, it is a benign tumor of the uterus. A gestational sac is an early pregnancy (the sac containing the embryo.).

Question 10

is it normal to just see gestational sac and yolk 
sac at 6 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Yes: short interval follow-up is recommended
