Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
It is too early to detect fetal part or viability through abdominal ultrasound. You have not mentioned last period date. As per your report, you can await for 2 weeks and repeat the scan (preferably TVS) to confirm fetal viability. Take prescribed medication as per your doctor's advice.
Hope, I have answered your query. Good luck.

The start date of the last period was on April 26, 2022. I forgot to mention that the report is for transvigaina ultrasound that was done on XXXXXXX 19, 2022. Is it normal to have intrauterine sac measure 13 mm and no fetus is shown in transvigaina ultrasound?
Brief Answer:
REPEAT ULTRASOUND AFTER 2 WEEKS FOR CONFIRMATION.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up query.
There may be possibility of late ovulation or late pregnancy. As a result, fetal part is not properly visible on scan report (too early).
Therefore, I suggest to repeat TVS after 2 weeks for confirmation of fetal viability.
