Im 4 weeks now and thats the main reason
im worried about the miscarriage. I did a
scan yesterday and the doc said that the
fetal pole is not yet seen. I check all
my preg books they dont say a word about
the subject. Do u have any idea????.

I've never heard of such a thing?? Try
not to worry, and ask your doctor some
more questions...

4 weeks is awfully early for a scan. I
know some people don't even see much till
6+ weeks. Try not to worry. :d

the "fetal pole" is
actually not a fetus, but rather is the
embryo at a very early stage where it
doesn't look like much of anything other
than a small thickening at the side of the
yolk sack.
It is generally so small that no details
can be seen on ultrasound, and all that is
visible is a small line/"pole." it
generally isn't visible until around the
6th week, so there is no reason for
concern.

Thanx a lot now at least I know what it
is, so I wont worry about it that much. I
know it's early for a scan but since I had
the misscarrage the doc wanted to check
she also wants to check again after 2
weeks. We dont find good docs around here
anyway hehe!!! But the doc i'm seening
now is ok

ditto on what steen said.. Normally since
you are so early your doc. Will send you
for another scan around 6 to 7 weeks.
Thats when they should be able to detect a
preg. Also your doc will probally send
you to get some blood work done to make
sure the your hcg quanitive level is
doubleing like it is suppose to. But
right now just let nature take its course
and try not ot worry yourself. I went
through the same thing as you are, and now
im 33 wks preggo today.. Good luck hun..
