No. In the early weeks, up to eight, and rarely nine, the baby may not be seen by an ultrasound. The abdominal scan may miss it, a TVS will usually pick up the baby by 6 weeks , but it too may miss it in this period. But after this, ie after 9 weeks there is no question of the scan missing the baby.

Is there any way to get rid of a cyst without going through surgery? Also, what are some effective ways to manage really bad menstrual cramps?

Yes, there are various ways to manage or treat cysts without surgery. Many cysts, particularly ovarian cysts, will resolve on their own, especially if they are benign. Other cyst types, like sebaceous cysts, may be treated with heat compresses or steroid injections to reduce inflammation. For menstrual cramps, heat therapy, gentle exercise, and over-the-counter pain relievers can provide relief
