You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I'm a bit worried because I did two beta HCG tests 48 hours apart, but the numbers didn't double. I also had a vaginal scan that showed the yolk sac, but they couldn't see the fetal pole yet. My cervix length is 3.5 cm and they mentioned a single intrauterine gestation with an MSD of 5.9 mm. Im just really anxious to knowdoes this mean I'm pregnant or not?

Yes, you are pregnant, as a yolk sac and a single intrauterine gestation have been visualized. However, the absence of a fetal pole and a suboptimal rise in beta HCG may indicate a need for close follow-up. A repeat scan in 7-10 days is recommended to confirm viability and check for the fetal pole.
