8 weeks from LMP; 2.1 mm fetal pole but no heartbeat
first time pregnant, 33F, I had my first scan at 6 wks and US measured 5 weeks. Since there was no fetal pole then and had a yolk sac with 5.5 mm diameter and gestational sac noted about 10.2 mm, doctor asked to come back in 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, a fetal pole of 2.1 mm was noted with a gestational sac of about 32mm, but no heartbeat was detected. For 8 weeks pregnancy, CRL noted about 5 weeks 1 D, establishing it as a growth lag of 3 weeks. I am keeping all options open. But want to understand from fam here: 1) Should I wait for one more week and hope for a heartbeat? 2) Even if the heartbeat appears, is it safe to carry along, or is it a case of MMC for me, unfortunately, and accept it as I am crying my heart out right now. Appreciate your experiences and inputs.
