Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
Usually when the fetal pole and yolk sac appears without the heart beat the ultrasound is repeated to know the progress of pregnancy.
In cases of delayed conception there might be delayed appearance of fetal pole and heart beat.
Don't worry.
Take prenatals and healthy nutritional diet.
And kindly repeat the scan.
Hope this helps.
Best regards....Dr.Srilatha
