Only gestational sac but no fetal heart or fetal bud

For many female friends who are planning to have children, being pregnant is a very happy thing. It is worth everyone's joy, and they will also have the joy of being a father or a mother. However, in our lives, some friends go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination and find that there is only a gestational sac but no fetal bud or fetal heartbeat. What is the cause of the absence of a gestational sac and fetal heartbeat? Next, I will give you a detailed introduction, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

If a woman who has just started to get pregnant and the pregnancy has not reached 8-12 weeks, occasionally goes to the hospital for a check-up and is told that there is a gestational sac but no fetal heartbeat or fetal bud, first of all, don't be nervous, because this situation occurs because the pregnancy is too young and the fetal bud has not yet fully appeared. The check is too early and the fetal bud and fetal heartbeat are too small or have not yet developed well, so they cannot be seen. In addition, some people will have this situation due to late implantation. Rest for a while and go for a follow-up check. There will be a fetal heartbeat at 60 days.

Embryonic development has a specific process. The gestational sac is formed in 30-40 days, the fetal bud is formed in 40-50 days, and the fetal heart is formed in 50-60 days. Based on this calculation, if a pregnant woman goes for a check-up after 60 days of pregnancy, and if there is still only a gestational sac and no fetal bud or fetal heartbeat, it is possible that the embryo has arrested. There are various reasons for pregnancy arrest, such as incomplete development of the embryo, poor placental development, poor male semen quality, sperm deformity, etc. In addition, some external factors, such as viral infection during pregnancy, exposure to radioactive substances, taking medications prohibited during pregnancy, high temperature, excessive stimulation, etc. may also cause fetal arrest.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why there is only a gestational sac but no fetal heartbeat or fetal bud. In short, if a pregnant woman goes to the hospital for a check-up and finds symptoms of a gestational sac but no fetal heartbeat or fetal bud, relax and don't worry. Wait a week before going for another ultrasound. If a fetal bud and fetal heartbeat are present, continue the pregnancy and do fetal preservation treatment at the same time. If there is still no embryonic bud and fetal heartbeat, it must be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid affecting the pregnant woman and minimize adverse factors.
