Question

I am two months pregnant and an ultrasound revealed a dot-like embryo without heartbeat. I’ve been feeling a lot of pain recently, but I really want this baby. I want to make sure if the embryo has stopped developing, what other tests do I need to take?

Answer

Medical Analysis: Hello, based on your description, not seeing a fetal heartbeat at two months pregnant is abnormal. Usually, the fetus and heartbeat can be seen around the 50th day of pregnancy. It’s possible that the embryo has stopped developing. We suggest you wait another week and then go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound to see if the heartbeat can be detected. If there’s still no heartbeat, it can be confirmed that the embryo has stopped developing. We hope this information is helpful to you, and wish you good health.
