I had a ultrasound done on what I thought was 6 weeks 1 day pregnant. No fetal pole but the gestational and yolk sacs were visible. My HCG level has been increasing but very slowly. It s at around 17,000 right now and I m 7 weeks today. I m going for another ultrasound tomorrow which will clarify if the pregnancy is viable or not. I m just extremely nervous about the outcome. I pray everything is fine but I m also preparing myself for the worst.
First of all, do not panic. Things will be fine in due course of time. Sometimes, due to delayed ovulation and conception, the fetal pole is not visible at five to six weeks ultrasound. There should be fetal pole present as there is yolk sac present. Please get follow up ultrasound done. Till then seek prescription support from your treating doctor for Micronized natural progesterone tablet and Doxylamine and Folic acid, to support the early pregnancy and avoid nausea and vomiting.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
Basically, fetal pole abdomen gestational sac is expecting till now. But sometimes there is slow progress also only the next can clarify it. Just stay positive, and things will be fine. Only in genetic abnormality or where gamete quality compromise, it will land up in an embryonic pregnancy without a heartbeat.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
