Doc has asked me to get a pelvic scan done this week and im not sure what all it will show. My period is late and tests are confusing me. Will the scan actually confirm if im pregnant or is it for something else? bit nervous about it.
Yes, a pelvic ultrasound can show pregnancy, but very early on a transvaginal scan picks it up sooner than an abdominal one. My doc said the sac usually shows around 5-6 weeks. Too early and it may not show yet even if you are pregnant, so timing matters.
It can, but a urine or blood test usually catches pregnancy earlier than a scan. Scan is more to confirm location and heartbeat once you are a few weeks along. If you just missed period, start with a home test.
I had a pelvic scan at around 6 weeks and it showed the sac clearly. When are you planning to get it done? If its too early they sometimes ask to come back after a week or two.
A pelvic scan does detect pregnancy and gives a lot of info like location and growth, but the right time depends on how far along you are. Your gynac will tell you when to do it so it actually shows clearly. No point too early.
