The ultrasound examination of the uterus after 51 days of amenorrhea showed a hyperechoic and thickened endometrium. The measurement of the chorionic gonadotrophin showed a value of 835.8 mUI/ml, which corresponds to a pregnancy of 5 or 6 weeks of gestation. The ultrasound examination was repeted after 66 days of amenorrhea and an intrauterine pregnancy with a viable embryo was observed. The embryo had a crown-rump length of 6.1 mm, corresponding to a pregnancy of 6 weeks and 3 days of gestation.
