Fetal Pole Visible but no Cardiac Activity seen

Hi ,

My wife is now 6 weeks 1 day in her pregnanacy .

We went for an early scan as our previous pregnancy is lost.

  The report of scan is :
  
  1) Gastenational Sac size of 1.8 cm which corresponds to 6 weeks 1 day
  2) Yolk Sac not seen
  3) Fetal Pole seen
  4) No cardiac activity
  5) CRL of 0.43 cm which is 6 weeks 1 day

We are so worried and the doctor asked us to come on in a weeks time for another scan

It is really difficult for us and we are praying god to have good baby this time

My doubt is :
1) When will yolk sac not seen and Fetal pole seen . Generally yolk sac is seen first and then the fetal pole . But our case is reverse which is worrying.
2) When is fetal cardiac activity seen .

Only positive at this time is fetal pole is seen at least and no other major problems like bleeding , pain for her.

Can any one give us some clue on our case and anyone faced such situation like us before.

Regards,

Early ultrasounds can be quite unreliable and my understanding is that It's very possible not to see the heartbeat at 6 weeks. Unfortunately, at this stage it's a waiting game. One thing you could do is ask for an hCG test - they measure blood hCG levels 48 hours apart. The levels should double if the pregnancy is progressing nicely.

Sorry I'm not much help. You could post this in the Pregnancy forum where you'll probably get more feedback. All the best to you and your wife!
