Hi Mam,
Thanks for your reply.
Yesterday we had our transvaginal ultrasound and we could see a gestational sac of 13mm and yolk sac of 2mm but no fetal pole. Currently im at 6 weeks and 1day. Doctor told me to repeat the scan after 1week. Is it too early to detect fetal pole??
Kindly advice.

Brief Answer:
Late conception
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Sometimes the ovulation is delayed, and hence the conception is delayed.
In this scenario, the gestational age by last menstrual period do not corresponds with the gestational age by ultrasound.
Therefore, the fetal pole may appear a bit late.
It is advisable to repeat the ultrasound after one week to confirm the viability of pregnancy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
