A transvaginal sonography detects pregnancy of about 5-6 weeks while an abdominal sonography typically detects it a week later. If the pregnancy is earlier than this, then few pregnancy related changes can be seen on scan, however not confirmatory. Please do a urine pregnancy test / serum beta hcg for confirmation of early pregnancy.
