What Does My Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?

default
Posted on Fri, 21 Apr 2017
Question: I have been for repeat scan it shows I am 5.5 to 6 weeks still but there is slight improvement as there is a small embryo. The sonographer said I am not progressing as quickly as they hoped for but in my eyes its a big step to last week with an embyro being seen even if.its very tiny. I have no report to upload. I am worried this is bad news as I havent had a period for 9 weeks. I am optimistic on the other hand cos there is a slight progression. What are your thoughts please?

Since I have just rang midwife she says this is very common in very early pregnancy she says this is why NHS dont scan until 12 weeks incase you are out with your dates. It can happen that there is a difference with period and scan measurements because scan today isnt a measuring scan its just general ultrasound. She said take no notice and be positive. As long as I have no pain or no bleeding she isnt worried at all xx some pregnancies do progress slow but catch up a few weeks later xx

Hi,

Still there is some hope.

I was curious to know whether ultrasound scan was done vaginally or on abdomen?

Brief Answer:
Wait until next week

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your beta hCG levels are good. Early pregnancy scan is difficult and sometimes mistake is done by technician in identifying heart beat.

Hence I see the chances in next week scan.
