It can be detected as early as 5 weeks of pregnancy, that is, one week after the menstrual period, a round halo will be shown in the uterus on the B-ultrasound, which is also called the pregnancy ring. The dark area inside the ring is the amniotic fluid, and the rhythmic fetal heartbeat can also be seen in it.

It should be counted from the first day of the last menstrual period, but some implantation also takes 40 days. Therefore, it is best to have a B-ultrasound examination at about 40 days. B-ultrasound can help check whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. In the early pregnancy period, it is the peak period of miscarriage.
