Period is 8 days late and test is faintly positive. My gynac told me to come for a pelvic scan but honestly its so early na, will it even show anything? Has anyone had it detected this soon?
Yes it can, but don't expect to see a fully formed baby waving at you yet! At 5-6 weeks, it literally looks like a tiny little bean or a dot. So don't panic if the doctor says "it's too small right now", that's totally normal.
Yes it can, but honestly, enjoy this quiet time before you start getting scanned every month. Early scan just shows a tiny speck that they tell you is your baby. Safe to say, the real adventure (and sleepless nights) starts much later!
With my PCOS history, my periods were always irregular so we couldn't rely on dates. The pelvic scan helped confirm the exact week of pregnancy, but we had to wait till week 7 for a clear picture. Don't worry if the first scan is inconclusive, sometimes dates are just shifted.
I am also trying to conceive and from what I read, it can detect but maybe after 5-6 weeks. It is better to wait a little so the heartbeat is also visible, otherwise we just get anxious. Sending you lots of baby dust.
Yes, it absolutely can! 😃 Normally doctors suggest waiting till 6 or 7 weeks so you can see that tiny little flickering heartbeat clearly. It’s the most beautiful feeling in the world, all the best! 💕
It does detect early pregnancy, but honestly, waiting till the 6th or 7th week is much better. I went too early because I was throwing up constantly, and they couldn't see much, which just made me stress more. Take a deep breath and wait for the right week.
Yes, but a blood test (beta hCG) is actually cheaper and easier to confirm very early pregnancy before going for an expensive scan. Gynac will tell you when to get the ultrasound done, mostly around 1.5 to 2 months. No need to hurry.
Yes dear, a pelvic scan can detect it, but if it is too early (like just 4 weeks), they might only see a small sac. That's why gynacs usually call you around the 7th or 8th week for a dating scan. Don't rush it, give it a little time.
Pelvic ultrasound works, but you have to be careful about the timing. My doctor waited till 7 weeks to be absolutely sure of the gestational sac and heartbeat. Keep track of your dates properly.
Yes, my doctor at Cloudnine recommended a transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) for early detection as it's more accurate than a normal abdominal one. Just ask your hospital coordinator or doctor what scan they are booking for you, they explain everything very clearly.
