A member asked:
Can a yolk sac b mistaken for a fetal pole ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Anything is possible, but a yolk sac appears before a fetal pole and is a circular structure. The fetal pole appears slightly later and has a different appearance. Repeat imaging should clear up any confusion.
