I say hello to the doctor. I am 25 years old this year, in January this year I had a natural miscarriage once. Up to now, I am 8 weeks pregnant according to the doctor's calculation, my last period is on June 25. Now, when I went to the doctor, he told me that the baby did not have a fetal heart (I have a transducer ultrasound) and asked me to come this week to aspirate, to avoid a lot of bleeding.
According to the weeks of going to the doctor, the gestational sac index has increased. Last week, 18.4mm, the embryo was not clearly seen with a slight blur. Today, at 8 weeks, I went to the doctor to see more clearly but there was no fetal heartbeat. The doctor asked me if I should wait until next week to check again? 8 weeks pregnant without a fetal heart, should it be saved? And is there any case that 8 weeks without a fetal heart, it takes up to 9 weeks -10 weeks?

Hi,
Criteria for diagnosing stillbirth are amniotic sac larger than 20 without embryo or rump length greater than 7mm without fetal heart. You do not provide it so it is difficult for the doctor to give you an answer. You can go to Vinmec Health System Hospitals nationwide for more detailed consultation and examination by experienced doctors. Thank you for trusting to send me the question of whether or not the fetus is 8 weeks pregnant without a fetal heartbeat, should it be saved to Vinmec.
