Q: No fetal pole anyone been here?

So today I had an ultrasound and from ges sac size I am 5 weeks 6 days. There was a yolk sac but no fetal pole, I always thought at 5 weeks there was a fetal pole.

I have another ultrasound in 13 days but would like to know has this happened to anyone and they still had a viable pregnancy? I've had 2 mcs before, one was a bo, and only one viable pregnancy so my anxiety and depression is starting to come back.

Thanks guys, I was told the same thing by my nurse this morning. She took my U/S to another sonographer since the other from yesterday only said no fetal pole. the sonographer verified that it is normal for no fetal pole to show up and that in 2 weeks we should see something.

Try not to worry, I know easier said than done. I had scan at start due to severe cramping and they thought it was ectopic, that was roughly 5wks 6days there was only a sac visible they said it was too soon, got brought back two weeks later and there was a small smudge which was the baby :) I'm going to be 15weeks tomorrow and everything is fine so far ;)

Wouldnt worry. I had and ultrasound at 6 weeks due to cramping and bleeding. They said the same thing. Went back at 11 weeks and everything was just fine. Im 22 weeks now and have had minimal problems.

I had one that due due to extreme cramping, they wanted to make sure the pregnancy was in the right spot. But yes very common not to see the fetal pole that early. Just don't stress over it and try to stay positive. I know how hard that is but stress and anxiety are not healthy. When do you have your next ultrasound? How far will you be? Not good with days. I know it's almost two weeks away, by then they will be able to see baby and heartbeat. May still be too early to hear it though.

A lot of times they warn against early ultrasounds. All mine showed at about the exact same stage was the pregnancy, I'm now 20 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. I stressed out a lot in the beginning and I still worry a lot. But it was probably too early to see much of anything v
