A member asked:
I am 12 weeks pregnant but have a second embryo which i was told is a yolk sac and not viable. what will happen to it? is the viable embryo safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely yes: Alternatively, the seconmay sac may be a an aenbryonic pregnancy. An aenbryonic pregnancy is estblished if a transvaginal ultrasound reveals a sac with a mean gestational sac diameter (mgd) greater than 13 mm and no yolk sac, or an mgd >18 mm with no embryo.Your pregnancy should be followed w/ ultrasound to assure no complications occur (unlikely) and the viable embryo develops.
