Doctors’ responses
Your ultrasound shows a gestational sac (GS) with fetal pole, which means pregnancy is there.
Cardiac activity is usually seen once GS size is >25 mm or after 6–7 weeks, so early scans may not always show heartbeat.
Light bleeding in early pregnancy can occur, but it always needs close follow-up.
A repeat scan after 7–10 days is important to confirm viability and check for heartbeat.
Till then, take rest, avoid stress/strenuous work, and consult your gynecologist immediately if bleeding increases or pain develops.
Hello dear As per clinical history it seems pregnancy is there due to presence of gestational sac As per my clinical experience,it seems 6weeks of pregnancy I suggest you to please get following tests done for further details and share reports with gynacolologist in person for better clarification Pregnancy strip blood-beta HCG after 48-72 hrs TVs or transvaginal ultrasound for details. Hopefully your query got solved Regards
Hello MANISHA,
The ultrasound suggesting of fetal pole confirms pregnancy.
For cardiac activity, get a repeat Transvaginal ultrasound after 10-14days.
Do follow these precautions: 1. Avoid heavy work 2. Avoid lifting heavy objects 3. Report to hospital for any vaginal bleeding or pain to rule out chances of abortion. 4. Start medicines for hormonal support in pregnancy 5. Get routine antenatal tests done.
I can guide you throughout your pregnancy, as I have a good clinical experience in Antenatal care. All the best !
Hi Manisha☺️
Normally, cardiac activity (heartbeat) can usually be seen on ultrasound by 6–7 weeks of pregnancy.
Bleeding in early pregnancy can happen in many women.But you should visit your concerned gynaecologist, if too much bleeding/ bleeding with severe pain.
1. Don’t panic yet – one ultrasound is not enough to decide the outcome.
2. Your doctor will usually advise a repeat ultrasound in 7–10 days to check for cardiac activity.
If heartbeat is seen on repeat scan → pregnancy is viable.
3. A blood test (β-hCG levels) done 48 hours apart can also help show if pregnancy is progressing normally (levels should rise).
4. 🛑🛑Meanwhile, take rest, avoid heavy work/lifting, and follow your doctor’s advice (sometimes progesterone supplements are prescribed).
Bleeding during pregnancy can be disconcerting and could have several causes, but it’s important to interpret these alongside ultrasound findings. In your case, you’ve noted that the ultrasound shows a gestational sac (GS) measuring 16.5 mm with a fetal pole visible but no cardiac activity yet detected. Around the stage of 6 weeks, a fetal heartbeat is usually detectable, but sometimes it can be seen a little later. It’s possible that your dates might be slightly off, and another ultrasound in a week could provide more clarity. However, in some cases, the absence of cardiac activity in conjunction with a fetal pole can indicate what’s known as a missed miscarriage. This is when the pregnancy isn’t developing as expected and is not viable. It is crucial to follow up closely with your healthcare provider, who may recommend a repeat ultrasound after a week or use serial hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) blood tests to monitor pregnancy progression. Persisting or heavy bleeding, severe pain, or significant changes in your condition warrant immediate medical attention. Continue prenatal appointments as scheduled, and maintain any advised activities or restrictions regarding physical exertion. Managing stress and gathering information about the condition can help equip you for discussions with your healthcare team. It’s essential to have thorough follow-up to determine the next steps based on your unique situation.
