Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
Well if the Antral follicular count or AMH have bene on the lower side ,then if she has become pregnant now and pregnancy is already 5 weeks , and being her first pregnancy it would be a good advise to continue the pregnancy and not opt for any abortion at all.
I am not seeing any reports attached at present. Please attach them in the follow up.
Regards

Detailed Answer:
Both the reports show that your wife is pregnant with 5 weeks of pregnancy where heart beat of the child has not arrived as of now.
At 27 years, when she is at the right age to conceive, i feel there is no point going or opting for an abortion.
The sizes of ovaries are not mentioned in any of the reports and ANTE MULLERIAN HORMONE OR ANTRAL FOLLICULAR COUNT reports or tests haven't been done , so it is difficult to comment on the future of fertility in your wife, as told by your doctor.
If the AMH IS low or the astral follcular count is also low then it is anytime better to continue the pregnancy as of now.
However, the decision remains yours, but as a doctor i would like to counsel you to continue the pregnancy as first pregnancy is always the best pregnancy.
