Re: To Doppler or not to Doppler, that is the ?From: Terry J DuBose (tjdubose@juno.com)Fri Dec 26 14:42:49 1997
After 5.5 weeks, M-mode should tell the story, especially if you use an endovaginal transducer. I see no need for Doppler, however, I am not aware of any real risk as long as you keep it short and quick. Heating it the major danger, and Doppler does crank up the energy a bit. The only time in very early pregnancy that I have used Doppler was for a suspected ectopic, and we used it to look for trophoblastic flow. Did that only once on a 4th week IUP, flow proved IUP, went on to a normal term delivery. But for the embryo that you can see, you can see the beating heart. And if you can see the beating heart, you can M-mode it. According to R. Shats (Amsterdam) we are seeing by EV the heart beat as soon as it starts beating about 32-37 days after the LMP , depending on when implantation takes place. Hope this helps. Peace, Terry J. DuBose
