Why does the ultrasound scan not show a baby in a pregnancy?
Patient: yes i went too the doctors office and they took a pregnancy test on july 28 that was positive and had me get an ultra sound to see how far i was but the tech said she could only see a sac and couldnt see the baby and i had blood work done the same day and on july 29 my doctor called and said my blood work was positive and that i was 3-4 weeks pregnant why didnt the tech see the baby then is it because it was to early or could it be a blated ovum this is my first pregnancy so i dont know how it really feels to be pregnant though i also go back on august 3 for blood work and august 4 to see the obgyn is that way to early what would they do for the first visit and would you only bleed if you have a miss carriage though just woundering Doctor: 3 - 4 weeks pregnancy is too early to detect heart beat in USG. It may further take a week or so to detect it.so relax and every bleeding is not necessarily a miscarriage. Sometimes it may just be threatened and pregnancy can be saved
