At 7 weeks of pregnancy, the absence of fetal pole and fetal heartbeat poses what risks?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness.
Is there any danger if there's no fetal pole or heartbeat at 7 weeks of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! At 7 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal pole and fetal heartbeat should be quite noticeable. I don't know how your menstrual cycle is usually like? If your menstrual cycle is around 30 days, the baby should be able to have a very clear heartbeat now. If that's the case, I suggest you give up this child. It's very likely that the child itself is not developing well, which is why there is a pregnancy cyst. It's not necessarily a miscarriage—miscarriages usually involve bleeding. I suggest you give up this child, as this situation is not good for your health either. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
