What Causes Elongated Gestational Sac On Pregnancy Scan?
I am 6 weeks and one day with a heartbeat of 86 bpm I have had three miscarriages one a chromosome issue. The doctor said that the gestational sac is looking kinda elongated and with my history was concerned. What are the chances of me carrying to full term? Should I be worried? Any suggestions on what to ask my doctor or should I adk for levels drawn?

hi.
There should be no cause for concern yet as long as the FHS was normal, but of course if the sac does look a little different from normal then a follow up scan along with an anomaly scan on the 12th week should be conducted.
Along with a check on other anomalies (e.g. AFP) with the help of a blood sample by the 16th week or so.
Best wishes.
