U/S at 5 weeks 2 days... yolk sac normal?

ashleyhall919 · May 2009

I had an ultrasound down at 5 weeks 2 days. ?Calculating by my last period, I should be 6 weeks 2 days. ?Doctor explained that women do not all ovulate at the same interval. ?The ultrasound only showed the yolk sac. ?Is this normal? ?I'm a little worried because the doctor had me do another blood test 2 days later on a Saturday (today). ?Anyone else have this experience before?

the same thing happened to me, i was calculating by my last period but the baby was 5 days behind. doctor said not to worry at all, it just means i ovulated later than i thought and thus conceived later. plus, babies often fluctuate a little with their development. you might go next time and find its a few days ahead in growth!

That's a relief. ?Part of me was like "oh don't be one of those people that do nothing but worry". ?The other part of me was saying "ut oh". ?I can't wait to see an actual little being, and see the heart. ?Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel better.

Yep same thing happened to me. I think I was 6W5D and all they saw was the yolk sack. It totally freaked me out!!!

Yes, that is absolutely normal. If they are monitoring your hcg levels they will be able to see if your pregnancy is progressing well before they can really date it via U/S.

Woman ovulate at different times, your doctor is right about that. That is why I don't understand why they use LMP when someone could have ovulated on day 24 putting them later. I think they should all do a dating u/s at some point in the first tri to be sure. I knew when I ovulated since I charted, and adjusted my LMP accordingly when I called the doctor.

I had an u/s at 5w 3d after some spotting and we saw only a gestational sac, and something that was so small it could have been the yolk sac. I had another 6 days later and we had a fetal pole and a heartbeat. Just after 5 weeks it's hard to see much of anything. did they mention doing a follow up u/s in a week or so?

I had an ultrasound at 5w4d (I know when I ovulated) and it showed a 5w sac with a yolk. I had another one at 8w2d and everything looked good.

I just had mine at 5 weeks 3 days and had a gestational sac and yolk sac, my RE said next week we'll see more. Don't worry yourself too much

Same thing happened to me. I went in at 5w6d baby and we saw a gestational sac and yolk sac that measured 4w. Went back in about 10 days later and the baby was there measuring 7w2d with a heartbeat of 159.

If you are unable to visualize the fetus to get a crown to rump measurement then it is really hard to determine how far along you are. It sounds like everything you saw was perfectly normal. Hang in there, but I know firsthand how stressful it can be. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
