How to determine pregnancy on ultrasound?

What is the examination for, at what time does the ultrasound show pregnancy? The questions that arise in every expectant mother are quite justified. To confirm the confidence that conception has occurred, after conducting a rapid test with a positive result, in some controversial cases, the doctor prescribes an ultrasound scan. Additionally, a blood test is given with the determination of the hCG hormone, which will naturally increase from the norm already after a few days after the moment of fertilization of the egg.

You can do a study after 5-6 days of a delay in menstruation, when a fetal egg is visible on an ultrasound scan, but with such a short period, the embryo will be visible only during diagnosis by inserting a sensor into the vagina. Through the abdomen (transabdominal way) it will be impossible to see small changes in the uterus. For greater reliability, it is better to do it from 7-8 weeks, when an ultrasound will show pregnancy in any way performed.
