Can One Identify The Cardiac Activity At 5th Week Of Pregnancy?

Sir, My LMP was on March 28th 2011. I got an USG done on 05/05/2011 which reported a gest 0f 5wks and 2 days. Hit by curiosity, I got an USG don again by my friend on 15/05/2011, but it reported a gest of only 5weeks and 4days only.. I am worried, some of my friends say, bt now we can actualy see the cardiac activity of the baby.. Please suggest me what should I do now.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Generally cardiac activity is 5 1/2 weeks by trans vaginal and 6 1/2 by trans abdominal.
2.You should be having the cardiac activity by this time.
3.Looks like a Blighted ovum, non viable pregnancy.
4. Get a confirmatory scan reported by radiologist - if its saying same, the go for abortion.
5.Hope it helps.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
