Can I detect pregnancy through ultrasound?

The birth of a new life brings a lot of joy and laughter to the family, so the whole family pays extra attention when the expectant mother is pregnant. Many expectant mothers will inevitably experience some symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy, such as nausea, breast pain, nausea and vomiting. Therefore, expectant mothers are eager to do B-ultrasound after experiencing these symptoms. So, can B-ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy detect them?

Can I detect pregnancy through ultrasound?

It is generally recommended that the first B-ultrasound examination can be performed at least 45 days of pregnancy. Most pregnant women can have their first B-ultrasound examination at 12 weeks of pregnancy. In your current situation, if your progesterone level is low, you can ask the doctor who performs facial examination to determine whether you can inject progesterone to achieve the purpose of preserving the fetus based on the test results. B-ultrasound examination can usually see the gestational sac after 5 weeks of pregnancy (calculated from the day of the due date of pregnancy). By 6 weeks of pregnancy, the diagnosis rate of the gestational sac reaches 100%. The embryonic bud can be seen at 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. At 49 days of pregnancy, when the diameter of the embryonic bud is 2mm, the initial primitive heart tube beating can be seen. At 8 weeks of pregnancy, the test tube embryo begins to take on a human shape.

Obstetric experts emphasize that after a woman becomes pregnant, it is generally considered that if the menstrual period has not exceeded 18 weeks, it is not appropriate to have an ultrasound examination. Because B-ultrasound examination is carried out in the early stages of pregnancy, especially within 2 months of pregnancy, or even too frequently, it is very likely to cause embryonic cell disintegration, affect the brain development of the fetus, and even have a negative impact on the pregnant mother. But after the early pregnancy, around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy, in order to clarify the development of the fetus, it is time to conduct an ultrasound examination.

Although it is not advisable to do B-ultrasound examination within 18 weeks of pregnancy, it is an exception for pregnant women in special circumstances. For example, if abnormal phenomena such as ectopic pregnancy or hydatidiform mole occur, or other abnormal pregnancy occurs, whether the fetus can continue to conceive needs to be finally determined through B-ultrasound examination. This is related to whether the fetus can grow and develop healthily in the womb, so it needs to be treated with more caution.
