GESTATIONAL SAC....YOLK??? HMM?
| Thu, 06-21-2007 - 11:18pm |
Hi ladies I am just curious.....would the doctor have givin me a u/s pic if there was no yolk sac? I Am only 4 weeks 3 days but the sac is there and looks like on the original there is a very very tiny period lookin thing on the inner lining of the gestational sac......is that my yolk sac ....he didnt say if there was but confirmed the ges .sac and I figured if it wasnt a yolk sac y would he have givin me a picture?


That sounds like it might be be the case. I had an u/s that measured 4 weeks 6 days during my last pg, and there was a gestational sac, the large dark fluid-filled area; and the yolk sac, which looked like a smaller circle with white edges within the gest. sac. No Fetal pole yet though, which would be attached to the yolk sac and at first just looks like a little white blob on the edge of the yolk sac. The fetal pole doesn't usually show until AT LEAST 5 weeks or hcg 2000 (or so I've been told). And even then you will prob not see a HB until 6 weeks or so.
This pg, I had my 1st u/s at 6w 2d and had a large yolk sac with a fetal pole and a hb of 120. I'm now almost 31 weeks!
HTH!!
