Question 1

on my 6 weeks 5 days us scan found my yolk sac is collapsed what is it .. is there any adverse complications to the baby?

Accepted Answer

Could Be: Without knowing all of the details, it could be an indication that you have miscarried.  Of course, an ultrasound should be repeated in a week or so, to be sure.  At this time a heartbeat should be easily visible.

Wish you good health!

Question 5

1st scan at 6+1 measuing 8mm with possible yolk sac. scan 10days later found 2 sacs - 8mm empty and 13mm with haemorrage. another scan in 1week. help?

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: Early ultrasound in pregnancy can sometimes be inaccurate because a fetal pole needs to be big enough for the ultrasound technology to pick up.  Typically we expect the gestational sac to grow between ultrasounds and  the development of a fetal pole over time as well.  No development of fetal pole could indicate very early pregnancy or blighted ovum

Question 6

does seeing a yolk sac mean fetus?

Accepted Answer

No: Seeing a yolk sac only lets us know that at least the pregnancy is in the right location within the uterus and not in the fallopian tubes.  To confirm that it is a good, viable pregnancy, you will need a follow-up scan in a week or two to show the fetal pole with a heartbeat.  The fetal pole/fetus is not the same as the yolk sac.

Question 7

is it possible for beta values to keep multiplying (by 1.5 & more every 2 days) when there is no clear yolk sac (week 6)?

Accepted Answer

Ectopic pregnancy: If not sac is visible in the uterus, ectopic pregnancy needs to be ruled out.

Question 8

some say i shud have atleast a babys hearbeat in my 5week scan?how true?my scan showed only ges sac and yolk sac,no baby nor heartbeat.shud i b worid?

Accepted Answer

Early ultrasound: When is your next scan? It  is reassuring that a sac and yolk sac were both seen. A follow up ultrasound is appropriate.

Question 9

doctors confirmed i was 5 weeks and 2 days as of yesterday. but only seen gest sac, no baby or yolk sac. having light pink when i wipe sometimes. m/c?

Accepted Answer

Wait and see: Could just be an early pregnancy or signs of a miscarriage.  It depends on the size of the gestational sac.  You should see a fetus if the sac is &gt; 25mm.

Question 10

can a embryo hide behind a yolk sac?

Accepted Answer

In a sense: The yolk sac is visible before the embryo grows large enough to be seen.  As the fetus then grows the yolk sac will disappear.  It is more a matter of timing than anything being hidden.
