Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Better to go for repeat ultrasound examination after one week to come to one conclusion regarding miscarriage.
Because usually ultrasound can identify the fetal heart beat after 6 completed weeks of gestation.
In case of irregular periods, sometimes the gestational age can be wrongly calculated.
So, repeating the ultrasound is needed.
If fetal heart beat is not found in repeat ultrasound also, better to plan for termination of pregnancy.
And also through evaluation to find out the possible cause for repeated pregnancy losses is needed.
Thyroid abnormalities can affect the pregnancy outcome.
So, once check for your thyroid profile and if needed adjust the dosage.
Take care.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Sorry to say,but signs are not good this time also.
You can wait for one more week.Fetal heart rate can be detected from six weeks of gestation.TVS can detect fetal heart from 5 weeks.
You need follow up scan after one week.
Wish you all the best.

Take Care
