Question
I had my period on November 28th, and it hasn’t come since. The pregnancy test shows positive, but I’m over 50 days pregnant. After a detailed examination at the hospital, they found no yolk sac or embryo. I have no signs of breaking skin, and I’m not sure if this child should be kept?
Answer
According to your description, if your menstrual cycle is usually regular, an ultrasound at 42 days of pregnancy should clearly show the gestational sac, embryo, and heartbeat. You haven’t seen a fetal heartbeat or yolk sac after 50 days of pregnancy, which may be due to irregular menstrual cycles or a delayed conception, or it may indicate poor fetal development. It is advised that you have another prenatal check-up in a week and maintain a relaxed state of mind.
