Can a baby hide on an ultrasound?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I'm a bit worried because I haven't had my periods for the last two months, and my doctor told me to take Duphaston 10mg for ten days. It's only been two days since I stopped taking the pills. I'm curious to know when I should expect my period to start. Is this normal?
-it's common to get your period within 3-7 days after stopping Duphaston, though it can vary a little. If you dont get your period within a week, follow up with your doctor to check for any underlying issues. Take care and dont stressits often

I'm really worried because my periods are 22 days late, and I've taken three home pregnancy tests but all came back negative. I also got a thyroid test done, and that came back normal. My doctor prescribed me a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, but I still haven't had my period. I have thalassemia minor and my hemoglobin is 8. Could my missed periods be due to low hemoglobin levels?
Both are no related,there might be some issue with your ovaries,visit Gynaecologist foe evaluation and further management
