Question
I went for an ultrasound, the doctor said 6 weeks pregnant and 3mm embryo. 2 weeks later, I went to the doctor again and said the results were the same as the first time and stillbirth. I went to another doctor, about 6-7 weeks pregnant, the embryo is 8mm but there is no fetal heart. I still have hope, so I have to wait 5 more days to have another ultrasound. May I ask, 6 weeks embryos in 2 places of ultrasound are 5mm, 8mm, respectively, without fetal heart, should they be saved? If the fetus is stillborn, the embryo will not develop anymore, right?

Hello! According to diagnostic criteria for stillbirth, embryos with CRL values >= 5mm without fetal heart rate, the fetus stops progressing. In my case, the doctor found it unclear, because the two embryo values in two places are different. If you don't have abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding at the moment, you can wait a little longer to check again to have a more accurate diagnosis.
If you still have questions about the issue "The 6-week embryo in 2 places of ultrasound, respectively 5mm, 8mm, without a fetal heart, should it be saved? “You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more specific advice from doctors.
