What ultrasound finding confirms an intrauterine pregnancy?

The answer and the reasoning

D. Gestational sac with yolk sac in uterus

A yolk sac within an intrauterine gestational sac confirms an intrauterine pregnancy, whereas nonspecific uterine changes do not exclude ectopic pregnancy.

Option by option

  • A. Thickened endometrium only

    Endometrial thickening is not definitive localization.

  • B. Ovarian cyst only

    An ovarian cyst does not prove pregnancy location.

  • C. Free pelvic fluid only

    Free fluid may occur in several conditions including bleeding.

  • D. Gestational sac with yolk sac in uterus (correct)

    Correct: an intrauterine yolk sac confirms pregnancy location.
