The yolk
sac is a structure that develops naturally after conception, usually beginning at 4-5 weeks after conception. The embryo bud and fetal heart can be seen by ultrasound at 6-7 weeks of pregnancy, that is, 1-2 weeks after the yolk sac appears. In this case, embryo survival can be /confirm/ied. If the embryo bud is still not seen 2 weeks after the yolk sac appears, especially when the diameter of the yolk sac has exceeded 1 cm, it is generally considered as embryo arrest, which may be related to chromosome abnormality, corpus luteum insufficiency, infection and other factors.
