Answer
A gestational sac, the structure that holds the developing embryo, can sometimes be seen on an ultrasound as early as 4-5 weeks of pregnancy. However, at this early stage, it might be small and difficult to see clearly. It's more common to see a fetal heartbeat on ultrasound around 6-8 weeks, which is a more definitive confirmation of a viable pregnancy.
