Was that situation considered a missed miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation with the requirements followed:
Yeah. Previously, my menstrual cycle was always irregular. Treatment history and effectiveness: On September 26th, I got a urine early pregnancy test at the hospital which was weakly positive. The line was very faint, visible only slightly. On the same day, I had an ultrasound (BC) showing a size of 88 mm, and also a blood HCG test result of 7575. Progesterone was 37.6. On the 28th, the HCG was 9291. Later, the doctor asked me to come back for a follow-up ultrasound (BC) in a week. By October 8th, yesterday, the ultrasound measurement was 1211 mm. Hello, is the number shown on yesterday's ultrasound (the size 1211 mm) normal?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the time of your early pregnancy test showing a weak positive, your current ultrasound examination aligns well with your gestational age. A mismatch between your gestational age and your missed period may be related to your irregular menstrual cycles. This is not considered a case of fetal demise. Generally, by weeks 6 to 7 of pregnancy, an ultrasound examination would detect a gestational sac, and by weeks 7 to 8, the presence of a fetal pole and cardiac activity would be observed. Based on the time of your weak positive test, your ultrasound examination is consistent with your gestational age. It is recommended that you have a follow-up ultrasound in 10 days. We should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If fetal demise persists despite treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
