In the 3rd week of pregnancy, can a doctor tell if a woman is pregnant thru a vaginal ultrasound?

Question

And what about a regular ultrasound? Or is that too early?

Answer 1

In most cases, a pregnancy will not be detected by ultrasound until around the fifth week, when the gestational sac usually becomes visible. Even then, it is usually only seen on vaginal ultrasound.

Answer 2

For a vaginal ultrasound maybe to early maybe not. An external ultrasound would not work at the 3 week stage. I would be careful even with an internal one though. I had one of these before they could find the baby and was told I was having a misscarige.... Shes 7 years old now.

Answer 3

they would probally have to use a vaginal ultrasound because the baby and sac are really small, they will try the regular one but most likely use the vaginal one

Answer 4

Only vaginal at 3 weeks...thats the only way the doctor will be able to see anything.The regular scans come after the 2nd month!

Answer 5

yes the doctors can tell you that your pregant its not to early becasue im 5 weeks pregant and i had to have a ultrasound done both ways i hope that everything is ok with you

Answer 6

with a vaginal ultrasound is good way of telling . i could even hear the heartbeat.

Answer 7

hmmm prolly thro a normal ultrasound it will be seen because they will see something goin on in there thats not normal if u know ur pregnant then why do u need to see it for urself?

Answer 8

hmm Im not sure but I think it can be detected as early as four weeks, not sure about 3 but vaginal probe could possibly detect the changes before then

Answer 9

yes the dr. can tell by doing a pep.

Answer 10

yes
