Can a D&C be performed if there is no fetal heartbeat at eight weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Pregnant for eight weeks with no fetal heartbeat

Doctor's answer:

In your case, if you are not experiencing any discomfort now, it is recommended that you have a follow-up ultrasound in one week. If the gestational sac is developing normally, it means there is no problem. If the progesterone level is low, it is advisable to supplement with progesterone appropriately. In our daily diet, foods rich in progesterone are rarely consumed. It is recommended that you check your progesterone levels promptly after your next pregnancy and supplement if they are low.
