I had intercourse a week ago, can an ultrasound already show the sac in my uterus or is it to early. Would it even show pregnancy. I had an ultrasound and it showed a sac already/

Hmm unlikely, here is more information if you need it.http://http://www.babyandbump.com/pr...ta-attach.html

One week after intercourse would be too early to see a gestational sac, or to determine a pregnancy. For many women, implantation is not yet complete at that time. What sort of ultrasound did you have done? Why did you have it done?

beth1974 · Jan 29, 2012, 11:31 AM

I had a positive home pregnancy test so I went to the doctor and had an transvaginal ultrasound. How long would it be before the sac would show? I also had intercourse two weeks before that.

That's too early - are you saying you've only had sex twice. Once, a week ago. Again, two weeks before that?

beth1974 · Jan 29, 2012, 11:52 AM

Yes Judykaytee only twice. On January 17th about midnight so almost the 18th and had the test and ultrasound the morning of the 26th. So I guess 8 days? But I also had sex January 5th or 6th.

DoulaLC · Jan 29, 2012, 11:53 AM

The gestational sac may sometimes be seen when you are a few weeks pregnant, or several weeks from your last period. You would have already been pregnant from the previous sex if you had a positive test result and already saw the sac on a scan.

beth1974 · Jan 29, 2012, 12:05 PM

Thanks DoulaLc. I was several weeks from my last period but I suppose the time of sex is what determines what shows right. 8 days after sex would anything show? So your saying I got pregnant the 5th or 6th?

DoulaLC · Jan 29, 2012, 12:26 PM

No, eight days after sex would not show anything definite just yet on the ultrasound... certainly not a gestational sac. The earliest some women might get a positive on a pregnancy test is about 8 days after ovulation, the vast majority of women would not... and that is from ovulation, which is often not the same day as when you had sex.

I'm not sure if the concern is due to having been with two different people, but if you had sex with someone just a week ago, and also with someone a couple of weeks before that... the person you had sex with a few weeks ago would be the father.

What did the doctor say when you had the scan done? Did they say about how far along the pregnancy is?

beth1974 · Jan 29, 2012, 02:05 PM

The Dr said 3 1/2 to 4 weeks which I assume means 2 weeks since intercourse. I have a picture of the ultrasound and he said the small apot was a small sac and that's all he said. He said it wasn't likely from a week ago. I am concerned because of two people, my husband and I split and I had that night a week ago with a friend because I was devastated but now were going to reunite if this is my husbands. He is who I had sex with two weeks prior to a week ago.

DoulaLC · Jan 29, 2012, 04:33 PM

Normally we would tell someone in this sort of situation that a DNA test would be necessary after baby is born to determine who the father is, but under these circumstances it is clear that your husband is the father.

I hope the reconciliation goes well and that you have a smooth and joyful pregnancy.

beth1974 · Jan 29, 2012, 06:31 PM

Thanks again DoulaLC, you have confirmed everything I have read so far. I will still worry about this for awhile but I do feel somewhat better knowing that 8 days after sex couldn't produce these results. I love my Husband and thank you for the information and well wishes!

beth1974 · Jan 30, 2012, 05:09 PM

Hey DoulaLC, thanks for all your info but I have one more question if you could help. I had a blood test Saturday which was about 10 days after intercource for my last time and about 3 to 3 1/2 weeks since intercource with my husband. My Hcg levels came back at about 1300, is this still consistent with everything you have told me?

DoulaLC · Jan 31, 2012, 03:07 AM

Hi beth1974,

Yes, your level would definitely put your husband as the father. IF you had happened ovulate the day you had sex the second time, you would likely not even have enough hcg to register when you had the pregnancy test.

beth1974 · Feb 1, 2012, 10:03 PM

Hey DoulaLC, I went back to the Dr today and he said I was 5 weeks (3 weeks) and that my yolk sac had developed in the gestational sac. He said my conception date was between Jan 4th and 10th! Me and my husband were together 1st and 5th or 6th! I think this continues to go along with what you have said already. Just wanted to give you an update and hear your thoughts. Thanks!

DoulaLC · Feb 2, 2012, 03:25 PM

Congratulations! I am happy to hear that your dates are as you would like them to be. I hope you and your husband are able to work on whatever had caused the difficult time that you had. I also hope that you learned a valuable lesson in making wise decisions, which is even more important when you are upset or in a vulnerable state of mind.

Do come back if you have any questions as your pregnancy progresses.

beth1974 · Feb 2, 2012, 05:38 PM

Thank you! You have been a great help! Do these dates go along with what you have told me already? I'm guessing the daters are fairly accurate from my Dr, would you say? There will always be the thought but I think my mind can be at ease knowing all this you have told me and the Dr as well? I have learned a valuable lesson to not act when emotions are that high, I think we will work this out and everything will be great.

DoulaLC · Feb 2, 2012, 06:34 PM

I think you can be comforted in knowing that your husband is the father. Quite a roller coaster of emotions the last several weeks, no doubt. Now you can focus on having a healthy pregnancy and baby! Enjoy your pregnancy... :)

thank you.

Think about this - the Radiologist who saw the scan said it might be an early pregnancy. The Doctor who examined you said it might be an ectopic pregnancy.

If professionals who have seen your lab work, examined you, don't know - who would we?
