A member asked:

Is a 15mm irregular shaped empty gestational sac at 4 weeks bad? can the sac become normal with time? is something wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gestational sac: If the gestational sac does not show a fetal pole at 4 weeks and certainly a heartbeat by 4-6 weeks it is not likely a viable pregnancy, i'm sorry.
