When Does The Fertilized Egg Show Up On Ultrasound?
Fertilized eggs can show up on ultrasound as early as 2 to 3 weeks after the last menstrual period. An ultrasound test can detect pregnancy as quicker than a urine test, and is more accurate concerned to the result. Four to 5 weeks after the last period experienced by a woman who is pregnant, a sac forms in the uterus. This sac looks like a ball which is about 8 mm long and is the brain of the new baby which is then called the embryo. Through ultrasound, after the first 6 weeks, the embryo can be seen moving and at the end of 7 weeks, the heart beat of the embryo can be detected through ultrasound. Ultrasound is safe during pregnancy and is most commonly used to determine the date of the delivery of the baby.
