Hello Doctor,
Could the lack of growth in gestational sac diameter despite an increase in yolk sac size, along with the absence of a fetal pole or cardiac activity, indicate a blighted ovum in my 6-week pregnancy, despite my HCG levels being 9217 miu/ml?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Interpreting Ultrasound Findings:
1. The lack of significant change in gestational sac diameter over a 7-day period is concerning.
2. An increased yolk sac size without corresponding fetal pole development raises potential red flags.
Potential Concern: Blighted Ovum
1. The absence of a visible fetal pole or cardiac activity despite advancing gestational age may indicate a blighted ovum.
2. A blighted ovum occurs when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus but doesn't develop into a viable embryo.
Thanks
