What Does "gestational Sac Corresponding To 5 Weeks 4 Days" In Pregnancy Scan Suggest?

Q : hi ... my last period was end of March... my period has been normal at time. I expect do have my period last april 30 until now may 13/11 dont have menstraution. Im so worried, I did twice a home pregnancy test last may 7/2011 and its positive ... the following day i went to d hospital and transvaginal ultrasound was done the impression was within a decidualized endometrium is a gestational sac compatible 5 weeks and 4 days MSD, normal both ovaries ...NOTE : suggest repeat scan after 2 weeks for evidence of fetal viability. I would like to ask is d result a sign of pregnancy already ? this would be my first time if ever ... Is it bad to take another ultrasound after two weeks or is it early to have another ultrasound for fetal viability.

Hallow Dear,

Please do not be skeptic about ultrasonography scans. Scan is a very useful tool to asses the integrity, normalcy, growth of the foetus. And it is safe too.

You had your last menstrual cycle on 30th April. In July, the pregnancy should have been 3 months; however, the scan is showing it to be only 5 weeks. This discrepancy could be due to mistaken dates or non-viable baby. Usually, if it is a non-viable baby, the gestational sac would have shown corrugated or irregular margins.

The doctors are suspecting the baby to be non-viable, hence a repeat san has been advised to you. If it confirms the diagnosis of non-viable baby, you will have to undergo termination of pregnancy.

Please do not loose your heart. Even if this pregnancy is wasted, you can have a normal baby next time.

I am sure, you have got your query resolved.
