What Does Absence Of Cardiac Movement In Fetus During Pregnancy Indicate?

i had my last periods on 18.10.2014 and got positive result by UPT on 27.11.2014.
I got my first ultrasound done on 11.12.2014 and the radiologist says its late conception and pregnancy is 4 weeks 4 days and no cardiac movement can be seen right now since its too early. so is it all normal?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Fetal heart can be detected in USG abdomen by 5 weeks ( with vaginal probe) & 7-8 weeks by abdominal probe.
Since sonologist states it to be a late conception & 4 wk4 days fetus- abscence of heart beats at this stage in USG scan -is justified.
Thanks.
