A member asked:
Im 5wks pregnant and the doc just finally seen the sac and yolk but not the fetal pole. is this normal or could it be a blighted ovum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: A blighted ovum, but you don't usually see a fetal pole before 6 weeks, so likely normal. You just have to wait to see, but good luck.
