I'm 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I just found out that the yolk sac is measuring 7.8 mm in diameter. I'm a bit worried about what this means for my pregnancy. Is this something I should be concerned about, and is there a chance the yolk sac size can return to normal?

A yolk sac diameter of 7-8 mm at 7 weeks and 2 days of pregnancy is slightly larger than expected, as the normal diameter is usually around 3-5 mm by the sixth week. This could potentially indicate a problem with the pregnancy, such as an early sign of miscarriage. However, it's essential to note that a single ultrasound measurement is not conclusive, and your healthcare provider may recommend a follow-up ultrasound to reassess the yolk sac size and check for any other signs of a healthy pregnancy. consult gynaecologist

I'm really worried and need some advice. On April 5th, my boyfriend fingered me, and I'm scared because I think he might have had precum on his fingers, which I've heard can lead to pregnancy. Thankfully, I got my regular period on April 10th, but I'm still anxious. Is there any chance I could still be pregnant even after getting my period that month?
