A member asked:

Can just seeing the gestational sac and yolk sac and no fetal pole or heartbeat normal at 6 weeks and 2 days?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Gestational dates: At 6-7 weeks usually a heartbeat can be seen. Often people are wrong about the date they got pregnant. The sonogram show they got pregnant at a different time than they expected. Your sonogram should be repeated in about a week to see if a heartbeat can be seen.
