What to do if the gestational sac is too small in early pregnancy

Reason 1 for small gestational sac: physiological reasons

Due to emotional tension and other reasons, pregnant women may have delayed menstruation, delayed ovulation, and late conception, resulting in a gestational sac that is smaller than the actual number of days of amenorrhea.

It is normal for the gestational sac to be small. As long as a dynamic examination after one week shows that the levels of chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone are gradually increasing, the gestational sac is continuing to grow, and the fetal bud and fetal heartbeat gradually appear, it means that the small gestational sac is due to physiological reasons such as delayed ovulation and late conception, and the pregnancy can continue.

Reason 2 for small gestational sac: pathological reasons

Due to poor development of sperm and eggs, infection of mycoplasma, chlamydia, rubella virus in pregnant women, or exposure to toxic and harmful substances during pregnancy, the gestational sac may be poorly developed and smaller than normal.

For pregnant women who experience the above situation, the gestational sac will continue to grow as time goes by during pregnancy, but no fetal bud or fetal heartbeat can be seen. In this case, the gestational sac is unhealthy and will eventually lead to miscarriage.
