Since I don't know the details of the story, it's hard to say exactly. But they could be ordinary suburban residents who find themselves in extraordinary situations due to the 'war' situation. Maybe a local shopkeeper, a stay - at - home parent, or a group of teenagers.
One success story could be that after proper medical evaluation and follow - up, the initial appearance of an empty sac at 6 weeks turned out to be a miscalculation of the gestational age. The woman's period was irregular, and with further monitoring, a healthy embryo was detected a bit later. She then had a normal pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy baby.
One success story could be that it was initially a misdiagnosis. Sometimes the equipment or the angle of the scan might not be perfect at 5 weeks. In some cases, a week or two later, a clear gestational sac and a healthy embryo were detected. Another instance could be that the mother had some hormonal imbalances that made it seem like there was no sac at 5 weeks, but with proper treatment and rest, the pregnancy progressed well.
Yes. There are. A friend of mine was in a similar situation. At 5 weeks, the scan showed no sac. But she was patient and followed her doctor's advice. A week later, there was a sac and a healthy fetal pole. It just took a bit more time for things to show up. So, it is possible to have a normal pregnancy even when there's no sac at 5 weeks initially.
One success story could be that sometimes the initial scan at 6 weeks might be inaccurate. Maybe the dating was off by a few days. In some cases, the gestational sac just wasn't visible yet but showed up a week or so later. For example, my friend had a similar situation. She was really worried at 6 weeks when no gestational sac was seen. But she waited and had another scan, and there it was, healthy and normal. It can be a matter of waiting and having a follow - up scan to get accurate results.
One reason for a positive outcome could be that the first scan was inaccurate. Later scans often show the yolk sac when it has had more time to develop. For example, I know a woman who was told there was no yolk sac at 6 weeks. She was worried sick, but at 7 weeks, there it was. So don't lose hope right away.
Yes, there are success stories. It might be that the dating of the pregnancy was off slightly. Maybe it was actually a bit earlier than thought, and the yolk sac hadn't developed enough to be visible at what was thought to be 6 weeks. Another possibility is that the equipment used for the ultrasound wasn't sensitive enough. In any case, with proper monitoring, some of these pregnancies went on successfully.
I know a woman who had no visible yolk sac at 6 weeks. She was really worried at first. But her doctor told her to wait and have another scan in a week or two. Turns out, the yolk sac was there in the next scan and she had a normal pregnancy. Sometimes, it just takes a little more time for the development to be visible.
There are quite a few success stories. The absence of a gestational sac at 5 weeks might be due to different factors like the method of detection. Ultrasound might not be able to pick it up that early. I knew someone who had no sac seen at 5 weeks. She had some mild spotting which worried her. But after proper rest and waiting for a while, a healthy gestational sac was detected later, and she had a normal pregnancy.
