is 5 weeks too early for an internal ultrasound?

Question

i had sex on oct. 5th. and then had an internal ultrasound 5 and a half weeks later (nov. 14th). it didnt show a pregnancy. could i have had the ultrasound too early for anything to be detected?

also, all my urine tests came back negative. i just have a bloating feeling/ firmness in my stomach and pain in my pelvic area and don't know what else it can mean.

Answer 1

I had a transvaginal ultrasound at 5 weeks and we saw the gestational sac...2 days later we saw the yolk sac as well.

It may be a bit early to see and you might be earlier than you thought.

Answer 2

That would make you around 7 1/2 weeks gestation (A pregnancy is counted from the first day of last period, so that the first 2 weeks there is no baby yet), and a baby and heartbeat would have been seen by then. I saw my current pregnancy at 6 weeks, 4 weeks past conception and saw the baby and heartbeat fluttering. At 8 weeks I saw the baby moving it's little limbs around.

Answer 3

Yes! I had the exact same thing happen to me.....At 5 weeks they didn't see a baby or a sac and then at 7 weeks the baby was there and fine....It didn't have a happy ending, but make sure you get a follow up ultrasound. and 7 weeks gestation makes the baby 5 weeks old.......

Answer 4

At 5 weeks it's too early to see the baby but you would see a gestational sac. You are not pregnant.

Answer 5

I had an internal u/s at 5-1/2 to check for ,ultiples...I could see a sac and alittle beating heart.

Answer 6

i had a scan with my first pregnancy at 5 weeks and yes we saw a sac and a yoke if thats what they still call it .i had to go back every week till they saw a heart beat.good luck

Answer 7

No, it would show SOMETHING at that point.
