Can you measure the yolk sack without an ultrasound? My sister says yes but she has a history of faking pregnancies a few years ago.
Hello, so my sister says that her yolk sac is small but that there was a heartbeat. But she also says she did not get an ultrasound.
Her and her husband have been trying for 4 years for a baby.
I went off birth control and conceived 3 weeks later very worried that it could upset her. I announced my pregnancy at 12 weeks and 2 days later she announced hers.
I am now 14+2 weeks along. She says she is 7 weeks along.
She says that she went to her baby appointments without the husband and that he was angry at her that he missed them.
She says she is high risk and will most likely lose the baby.
Can you measure the yolk sac without an ultrasound?
I am very concerned she may be lying as she had issues with this in the past. But I need to be careful as what if she really is pregnant.
We are all taking a wait and see approach rather than confronting her.
Have an answer?

Wtf? Are you hatching chickens??
It's an amniotic sac, filled with amniotic fluid. For the love of God, if you can't get this basic stuff then God help any child in your care.

The medical term is yolk sac until there is a detail pole and then the yolk sac diminishes thus forming the fetus and amniotic sac and fluid. Get your facts straight don't be a fool. I now feel sorry for any child in your care

Ffs think of her situation. The head fuck of ttc. Her sister falling pregnant easy. Her mum getting cancer.
If She is lying she is obviously screaming for attention! Don’t call her out on anything!
Quietly suggest to her husband that you are worried about her and suggest he take her to counseling and maybe on a holiday.

If she's lying just let her have her moment and her fake pregnancy loss and just hope her husband works out his wife is crazy and needs help! Why did she say she was high risk?
Congrats on your own pregnancy and hope your mum recovers or manages treatment well x

Often when ttc via assisted reproduction they will do an internal ultrasound around 7 weeks to see the yolk sack and the heart beat. She may have not really thought that it counts as an ultrasound as it was internal not the external wand. Though if she has been ttc for 4 years she would know this.

Yolk sac is the first anatomical structure identified within the gestational sac. It plays a critical role in embryonal development by providing nutrients, serving as the site of initial hematopoiesis, providing endocrine, metabolic and immunological functions and contributing to the development of fetal gastrointestinal and reproductive systems 2.
As the pregnancy advances, the yolk sac progressively increases from the 5th to end of the 10th gestational week, following which the yolk sac gradually disappears and is often sonographically undetectable after 14-20 weeks.

Honestly it sounds like she’s lying even though I have no idea about yolk sacs; didn’t know there was such a thing! Never heard that being referred to in my pregnancy...
anywayyyyy.....
My advice was just going to be; focus on what’s important. Your own pregnancy! Congrats! Your sister is pregnant; congrats! And devastating to hear about your mum. I hope she gets all the help she needs to get healthy again. Goodluck and don’t worry about your sister or even trying to figure out if it’s lies or real. It will eventually come out in the wash

I just really hope she has matured and stopped with this fake pregnancy stuff she used to do before she met her husband. We are too old for this now. I am too old. Our family has so much real drama going on. I hope she just got mixed up on what a yolk sac is and that she isn't lying on purpose.

Yeah.
I have adopted the policy of
"Not my monkeys. Not my circus".
I know some people would say I need to get her help. I probably should. But then a part of me is just sick to death of it all. It gets tiring.
My mum got diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago so I really need to focus on her right now.

They need to do an ultrasound to be able to say anything about the size of the yolk sac. They cant see it any other way.
She is probably lying about it.
