Can you see a 2 week pregnancy on ultrasound?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 09/12/2022

No, in this second week of pregnancy, conception has not yet occurred, the embryo does not exist and, therefore, it does not make sense to do a pregnancy test or an ultrasound.

Another case would be if we were talking about an ultrasound during a gynecological check-up to see the uterus or the ovaries. In this case, there is no problem in performing this diagnostic test.
