From my experience, the answer is MAYBE or SOMETIMES. My sister had an u/s at 6.5 weeks and they told her it was a blighted ovum. A sac, but nothing in it. She was so sad, but continued to have pregnancy symptoms, and waited until 9 weeks to have another u/s and that showed that there was a healthy, normal sized baby in there, just wasn't able to be seen for whatever reason at her previous u/s. Sometimes the uterus is tilted, so that the u/s can't view things correctly. Unfortunately, Dr's like you to think they KNOW EVERYTHING, so they rarely tell you that "Everything may be just fine, we may just not be able to see it yet." Check out a website called misdiagnosedmiscarriage. You'll find a lot of information.
Around 7 weeks I saw the fetal pole at 5.4 weeks
At 5 weeks 5 days I had no fetal pole detected, just an empty sac. I had the same at 7.0 weeks. However, at 7.5 days a fetal pole and heartbeat could be seen. From talking to friends during the "waiting" time, it appears that most women do not see a fetal pole until about 6 weeks minimum.
From what I understand, you should see a fetal pole by that time. However, I would go back for another u/s in about a week to see if things have changed or not.
no it is not no it is not
at about 4 weeks they can sometimes see the gestation sac. by 5 weeks they can usually see the yolk sac. and by 6 weeks you can usually see a fetal pole, sometimes even a heartbeat
My doctor is checking me at 7 weeks because it is usually detectable sometime between 6 1/2 and 7 weeks.
At 6 wks pregnant, on ultrasound, you can see the gestational sac ( the home of the baby). Unless you have an endovag ultrasound, then you can see a very small fetal pole and a small heart beat. It is very hard to see anything at that early of pregnancy.
ABout 5 to 6 Weeks, not much there to see really. They are tiny tiny then. God bless
If you are 7 weeks from your last period, you are seven weeks pregnant, 3 weeks pregnant is before you miss a period and you would not have a scan then. If you are seven weeks and there is no sign of a fetal pole it appears that the embryo may not have developed and you will miscarry soon, I am sorry.
You will never be able to see your baby's heartbeat in your stomach. But at around 6 weeks, you can see it in your womb via ultrasound. Usually over 6 weeks it can be heard through a fetal heart monitor too.

This is not going to be much comfort- I experienced a simiar episode and am now at 5.5 weeks with a repeat episode. My last pregnancy my levels were 3400 ish and only increased to 4700 ish someweeks later. I was told that levels that do not double at least every 72 hours are not promising. ometimes At 5 weeks and almost always by 6 weeks you should see a gestational sac, yolk sac and fetal pole with electrical activity about 80 to 125 beats. That's what I remember from my Drs apt. There are others with positive outcomes. at 6 weeks the levels can range from 200 to 150000. Good luck I m hoping it works out for you. The waiting is hard I know. God bless.
It was difficult to see the line that represents the very beginning of the embryo. Most likely, the gestational sac was seen on the ultrasound.
