A member asked:
No yolk sac was found on ultrasound at 6w 4d. there was a strong heartbeat. does this mean i will misscary?

Not necessarily: While no one can really predict a miscarriage, the yolk sac is only meant to act as a food supply for the zygote during the very early stages of development. It should and will eventually disappear. Its disappearance does not increase your risk of a miscarriage. Hope this helps!
