in 2nd Trimester
Is there any possibility if you were to be in your second trimester of pregnancy most likely and an ultrasound tech miss a pregnancy via transvaginal ultrasound or an abdominal one? Also is there any possible way it could be missed on an abdominal CT scan? Thank you

    Absolutely no way.  If they didn't see anything, you are not pregnant.
