What Does The Absence Of Yolk Sac And Fetal Pole Mean?

Hi according to the due date calculation i should be 6 and half week pregnant now becuase my last period ended on 30th april but yesterday i had an ultrasound and doctor said that I am 5 weeks pregnant which could be due to late ovulation. the reports say that the gestational sac is 15.2 * 8.8 mm. but no yolk sac and fetal pole.
What does it mean?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
I will suggest to wait for a week more, and repeat the USG .
At 5 weeks size it becomes difficult to visualize fetal pole and yolk sac if pregnancy is due to delayed ovulation.
Just wait and be positive, all things will sail smoothly.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
Dr Purushottam
