Answered by Dr. Indu Kumar (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
USG image shows measurement of GSD(gestational sac diameter)

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,

USG image shows measurement of GSD(gestational sac diameter).Gestational sac contains embryo/fetus.
In early weeks, it is not possible to measure fetus,so mean gestational sac diameter is measured.It is an accurate measurement for gestational age.(In your case,it shows 6 weeks 1 day of pregnancy).
It is measured properly.
Image shows fetal pole and yolk sac which is indicative of pregnancy.

However,you may need follow up USG to see further development of fetus.

Get well soon.

Hope I have answered your query.
Further queries are most welcome.

I took one recent which was suppose to show me at 12 weeks and 4 days and I measured 13 weeks and 4 days. which is a week off from my period. So would the earliest scan be the most accurate (meaning the 6 week scan)?

Brief Answer:
One week difference in ultrasound in early weeks is acceptable.
