OK - I decided to start a new thread so this didnt get lost in my other one about the HCG count.

I had a scan at 4 weeks 5 days earlier this week (see my previous thread HCG - is this ok? )and I wondered if you could give me your opinion.

On the scan notes it starts :

'Enlarged Uterus. A 0.5cm diameter intrauterine cycstic area is noted ? containing a tiny yolk sac, too early to see FH or fetal pole.'
Can anyone shed any light on why they would put a '?' and is the 'intrauterine cycstic area' the gestational sac??

Is anyone familiar with the jargon??

I wish I'd asked more questions. I also wished they had never given me the damn notes so I couldnt read them 17 times per hour.....

My hubby says I need to stop 'googling and obsessing'......if only it were that easy....

Thank you soooo much. I really appreciate your reassurance.

i'm gonna ring the midwife when she's at my practice on tuesday and try to find out some more. The hospital recommended a follow up scan in 2 to 3 weeks so hopefully that will show more as yours did.

Well, enlarged uterus is good, that happens when you are pregnant.

As for the other bits, no idea.

Thanks hun - I'm hoping that we might have a midwife/sonographer amongst us!!!

At 5/6 weeks I didn't have a fetal pole or anything, just a sac. At 7/8 weeks my little girl (bean at the time) was on the screen with a heartbeat!

I think that what they mean about the tiny yolk sac & too early to see fetal pole is that there is a sac in there but it is too early to see anything bec u r only in ur 5th week. Usually the fetus and heartbeat starts showing from 6w and above.

I think that everything is normal with u, so u shouldn't worry. Enjoy being pregnant!

Thanks Suzan.
I thought I'd stop disecting and analysing things once I got that BFP but I still find myself doing it. I'm going to try to now.
