Hello doctor! I have a question about fertility. I just had an ultrasound on August 26, and I am 4-5 weeks pregnant (no embryo, fetal heart and yolk). So the doctor asked me, 4-5 weeks pregnant without embryos, is it safe? When is there a fetal heart? Because my menstrual cycle is long, 38-39 days and the day of the last period is 7/7. So is the number of weeks of pregnancy so accurate? Hoping to get an answer from the doctor. Thank you.

Answer
Hello! If her menstrual cycle is irregular or long, the gestational age cannot be calculated by menstrual days, but must be calculated by ultrasound.
If counting 4-5 weeks without embryo, yolk is reasonable. But with the extent of only seeing the gestational sac, it is not possible to conclude that the pregnancy is safe. You need to continue to monitor your pregnancy according to your doctor's appointment. Usually, she will be examined again after 2 weeks and if it goes naturally, this time will see the fetal heart and embryo.
