Brief Answer:
Wait for a week and get a repeat scan done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If there are no detectable fetal poles or heart beat then it is likely to be a missed abortion. You can wait for a week and get a repeat scan done to see if there is any growth in the sac size or fetal poles appear.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
