Patient's question:
I have been amenorrheic for 62 days now. Currently, there is a gestational sac echo of 2.8x1.3, with a faintly visible yolk sac. No primitive heart tube beat was heard. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Normal cycles should show fetal heartbeat around 6 weeks, but sometimes due to a longer cycle or delayed conception, fetal development may be slower, and the heartbeat may appear later. You can re-examine with an ultrasound after one week to check for fetal heartbeat. If there is still no heartbeat, it can be diagnosed as fetal demise. You need to go to the hospital for further examination.
