Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
Please do not panic.
For USG to detect heart beats, fetus needs to be of 6 mm length.
Usually at that period of pregnancy fetal heart beats can be seen on USG. If it is still smaller in size then, please repeat USG after 7 days. Also if USG shows no evidence of bleeding around the sac, please do not worry.
Please take adequate rest, take vitamin C, B 12 , FOLIC ACID supplements.
Use of MICROGEST capsules is also advisable.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
