Hello
At six weeks of gestation a regular gestational sac, yolk sac and fetal pole are seen. By seven weeks the fetal cardiac activity is seen.
If there above said findings are not seen, the best management is a wait and watch policy. Arepeat ultrasound is done after a period of two weeks.The causes of fetal pole not seen may be due to:
Irregular cycles and delayed conception,
missed abortion which is confirmed by repeat scan.
