A member asked:
In early pregnancy, is the fetal pole the same thing as an embryo? when should u see an embryo? what does it look like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Early ultrasound : By about 6 weeks a fetal pole, also known as an early embryo, is visible with a heart beat on vaginal ultrasound. It looks like a grain of rice or a jelly bean at first--a white/grey blob with a flicker!
