5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

Had my first sono today and we saw a gestational sac and yolk sac no fetal pole yet although my dr wasn't concerned she said she wasn't expecting to see one this early I am very nervous my next sono isn't until 7 weeks! How am I going to wait that long

Re: 5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

I wouldn't worry to much -- I went last week at 5w3 days and we saw the sack -- I have an appt on monday and will be 7w3d

Dr wasn't upset just said we have to see a hb next visit.

Praying for you

I'm sure it's ok, so early a day or two makes a big difference.

Re: 5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

things change so drastically in the beginning. Yes, 2 weeks seems like forever, but you will make it

Re: 5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

Honestly, I had never even heard of a fetal pole at that time. We saw a sac and yolk sac and were told that was great. I don't know if there was a fetal pole or not bc it was never mentioned. I know 2 weeks takes forever that early but hopefully it will go fast and everything will be great!

Re: 5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

I had a sono at 5w2d and only saw sacs.. HTH

Re: 5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

that happened to me too - I was so nervous for nothing. I went back in less than a week - and they still weren't sure
It just wasn't enough time. Just went for my 12 wk appt and everything is fine.

Re: 5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

same thing happened to me. At 5w3d we saw just a yolk sac and nothing more. i panicked like crazy. i'm now 21w5d

Re: 5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

They found the fetal pole for me at 5w6d. Maybe it's too early.
ETA: I was 5w 6d but Ive been measuring a little further so I could have been 6w 2d

I wouldnt worry too much. Could just be too early. Sending good vibes your way!

Re: 5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

I think it's too early and absolutely nothing to worry about. I was seeing an RE and he wouldn't do a sono until 6 weeks because of this.

Re: 5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

If your physician wasn't concerned, I'd take their lead - though I'm sure it's difficult. This is why most OBs will actually not see you until 7-9 weeks - causes unnecessary concern

Re: 5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

Aside from all the above info that has been said, just adding that this pregnancy I have always been a week behind and I know that I cant be bc I know when I had my period and ovulated etc... If your dates are off like mine are, it could be that you are only 4 weeks 5 days which I wouldnt think you would see it anyway. Just a thought.

Re: 5 weeks 5 days and no fetal pole

You could be a few days off with your dates or it could just be too early. Try to listen to your doc and not be concerned. Good luck!
