Ryan's Mom is right about how long it will take to pick anything up on U/S.
Depending on how pregnancy affects you personally, you may feel symptoms within a week of fertilization. Some women never have symptoms at all, however. Everyone is different. Every pregnancy is different. Best thing, relax- wait- test in 2 weeks.

Short answer: NO. There is no way an ultrasound could detect pregnancy only 5 days after intercourse. More info to follow.
Of course intercourse has something to do with it! Pregnancy does not occur without intercourse of some type taking place!
Sperm can live about a week inside the woman's body, with the average being 3-5 days. If ovulation occurs within the time period that the sperm are still alive and active, fertilization can take place. This means that it could be 5 days after intercourse, and fertilization has only just occurred. There would be nothing detectable by an ultrasound at that stage, as the cells of the baby are just beginning to divide, and the the size is about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
After fertilization, the embryo travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus, and eventually implants into the lining. This can take place anywhere from 6-10 days after fertilization on average. So, this means taking our example above, that the implantation might not occur until 15 days following intercourse.
Once the embryo has implanted, the placenta begins to form, and begins producing "hcg" (human chorionic gonadotropin) which is the substance detected by blood tests and home pregnancy tests. At this point the embryo is still too small to be visible on ultrasound.
Only a couple of weeks after implantation have the fetus and amniotic developed to a size that can be detected by ultrasound. Given our example above, this would be up to a full month after intercourse.
A blood test can detect the presence of hcg earlier than a urine test, but since hcg is not produced until after implantation, a blood test will not be conclusive until 6-10 days or more following ovulation/fertilization.

Since sperm can live inside your reproductive tract for up to 5 days after intercourse, waiting for the egg to be released, you may not even have conceived 4 days after intercourse. If you have the embryo would be just a tiny mass of dividing cells. And you won't have pregnancy symptoms until after the embryo implants in the uterine wall, which takes place 6-12 days after conception (implantation is the medical defintion of pregnancy because the pregnancy hormone hcg is not released prior to it.)

No a regular ultra sound wont. I was 5 weeks pregnant and was in a car wreck. They had to do an internal Ultra sound. 4 to 5 days after intercourse though the egg is still implanting. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall.

An ultrasound won't show the baby until about 10-12 weeks. You have to be pregnant before you get pregnancy symptoms, intercourse has nothing to do with it. You can feel ill as soon as it's confirmed or you might be lucky and have no symptoms at all. No two pregnancies are the same.

the main person-friendly reason ability mothers and fathers decide for to conceive a woman fairly than a boy is the possibility of genetic disease, or "gender-linked" themes that are inherited from the mothers and fathers. individuals in simple terms might choose to enhance a woman, the two because of the fact they have already got quite a number of boys, or interior the case of a single mom, it would be much less perplexing to enhance a daughter on my own. There are purely 2 concepts that can reliably anticipate gender: One is to run a try mutually as doing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and the different, which remains interior the experimental point, is Microsort. this text outlines different methods that have worked to greater useful the percentages for some couples, in spite of the certainty that many scientists have self belief that right here concepts are no longer certain.[4

It depends what kind of ultrasound machine and why you are having the scan. If you are having IVF treatments, women have daily ultrasounds and they can tell when there is something "different" happening, but what they see are ovarian follicles, not a pregnancy.
If you're having a standard abdominal ultrasound the sack is generally visible at 4 weeks and heartbeat at 6 or 7 weeks. Implantation does not even occur until 2 weeks after conception so there is nothing to see in the womb until then.
Blood tests are the best indicator of pregnancy within 48 hours of conception.

No, because it takes 7-10 days for the egg to even implant in the uterus. You might be able to see a sac at 3-4 weeks, but nothing until then.

An ultra sound can tell you the next day if your pregnant. And as for symptoms about 2 weeks in. Have fun!

That's too soon to find out. If you missed your periods and start having the symptoms of pregnancy such as morning sickness; it would probably take about 1-2 months before you'll know.
