I just had this happen. I am 4-5 weeks and had a vaginal ultrasound and nothing showed. The ultrasound specialist, radiologist, er dr and an obgyn all told me that's normal around this time. I went back for bloodwork the next day and my HCG levels doubled. Good Luck. =) They have my "official" ultrasound scheduled at about 10 weeks.
You really need to talk to your doctor or the person who did the ultrasound about this.
I understand what you are saying when you say messuring, they messure the sac and it calculates what the size is to get the age of the sac/fetus.
If it was a vaginal ultrasound then yes it could give you some spotting.
Yes he did.
No. Neither should a vaginal ultrasound be done. There is a significant risk of damaging the placenta.
Ultrasound results generally take a week to get back to the doctor who requested the ultrasound. If ten days go by and there has been no news, you should call them.
A physical and vaginal examination, a vaginal culture, urine and blood samples, a fetal heart monitor may be hooked up, fetal ultrasound, amniocentesis.
Sounds like it probably was.
You could but keep in mind that it could also very much change depending on how the baby is measuring at the midway ultrasound. Even then the due dates are just estimates!
if it was Performed Properly .. with the needed precautions ... it DON'T
The best way to find out what is happening is to have an ultrasound scan, so you can actually see if there is a serious problem. Often there is no apparent reason for vaginal bleeding in pregnancy.
In general, vaginal ultrasounds are said to be more accurate than abdominal ultrasounds. However, there are documented cases where they have been wrong, with tragic results. If a baby is no longer alive, there is a series of tests that can be done to determine this. Ultrasound is only one of them. Take care not to take hasty action. Usually the body will take care of things itself, but if you should become feverish you should seek help straight away. See the Web Link to the left for further information.
