The risk continues to decrease as the pregnancy progresses. If your doctor finds no Heartbeat , you should plan on scheduling your next prenatal visit within the next few weeks.

Your doctor will be able to detect the Heartbeat if there is a crown-rump length of 5 millimeters or more and if there is no gestational sac. The doctor will likely order a blood test to be sure of your pregnancy and may schedule another ultrasound to confirm the baby’s location.

A missed miscarriage may be the result of the fetus not developing properly. A missed miscarriage is when the pregnancy sac is empty and the embryo has not grown. This is known as a “blighted ovum” and occurs after the first few weeks of pregnancy.

The first ultrasound is an important part of pregnancy. It can help you determine your expected due date and confirm the number of babies that you are carrying. A transvaginal ultrasound is the most common, but you will also have an abdominal ultrasound. This allows your doctor to see the fetus better.
