A pregnancy diagnosed by ultrasonographic or clinical documentation of at least one fetus with a discernible heartbeat is termed what?

• A. Clinical pregnancy
• B. Corona Radiata cells
• C. Clinical pregnancy with fetal heartbeat
• D. Complex aneuploidies

Answer: (C)

Verifying viability is about confirming a heartbeat. When ultrasonography or clinical examination shows at least one fetus with a discernible heartbeat, the pregnancy is classified as a clinical pregnancy with fetal heartbeat. This label distinguishes a pregnancy that is clinically recognized and viable from one that is merely biochemical or from other unrelated terms. The other options don’t describe this situation: corona radiata cells relate to the oocyte’s surrounding cells and aren’t a pregnancy diagnosis, and complex aneuploidies refer to chromosomal abnormalities rather than pregnancy viability.
