Hello! If based on ultrasound, it is not enough to diagnose stillbirth because the latest criteria for diagnosing stillbirth is the head-buttock length greater than 7mm without a fetal heart. However, in your case, the possibility of stillbirth is high, you should have an ultrasound again after 3 days.

Can a person with a pediatric uterus be cured and get pregnant?

Hello doctor, I have an infantile uterus, I had an ultrasound when I was 18-19 years old, the ultrasound results showed eggs, an infantile uterus, some doctors said the vagina is long, some said the vagina is short, no vagina, only 2 finger joints wide, the doctor said to go to Saigon to create a vagina for sex but can't have children. Another doctor said that I can only help create a fake menstrual cycle when I get married. It's been a long time since I've had a check-up, and I'm not married yet, but I want to know if I need to get married before I have a check-up, is it okay to wait too long?

Bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy is okay?

My period is about 15 days late. I tested with a test stick and it showed two faint lines. But then I had a lot of brown bleeding. I went for a transvaginal ultrasound, the doctor did not see the gestational sac and asked me to do a beta HCG blood test. My result was 121. The doctor scheduled me to do another beta HCG test in 2 days. But today I have a lot of red blood like menstrual blood. So doctor, can you tell me if I am pregnant?

6 weeks fetus in 2 places of ultrasound, respectively 5mm, 8mm, no fetal heart, should it be saved?

I went for an ultrasound and the doctor said the fetus was 6 weeks old and the embryo was 3mm. 2 weeks later I went back for a check-up and the doctor said the results were the same as the first time and the fetus was stillborn. I went to another place and the fetus was about 6-7 weeks old, the embryo was 8mm but there was no fetal heartbeat. I still had hope so I waited another 5 days to go for another ultrasound. Let me ask, the 6-week embryo in the 2 places with ultrasounds was 5mm, 8mm respectively, there was no fetal heartbeat, should it be stillborn? If the fetus is stillborn, the embryo will not develop anymore, right?
