A member asked:

I'm 7 weeks pregnant, cervix closed, the embryo and sac stopped growing went for another scan and the sac started growing again, what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably nothing: You don;t indicate the time between scans. If it was a short period, there may be overlap between values; for instance, if the us says 5w that could mean 4w5d to 5w4d. A study done a week later could overlap these values. Anyway, fetal pole (embryo size is much more significant the sac size.
