At around 6 weeks of pregnancy, sometimes the heartbeat is not clearly seen yet, especially if ovulation happened later than expected. A CRL of about 5 mm with absent cardiac activity can still be within normal limits at this stage. It does not automatically mean the pregnancy is not viable
Next Steps
The standard recommendation is to repeat the ultrasound after 7–10 days. In many cases, cardiac activity becomes visible on follow-up. At this stage of pregnancy, the findings need close monitoring by a gynecologist. I strongly advise you to get an in-person gynecological review as soon as possible for further evaluation and guidance. Meanwhile, take rest, continue prescribed supplements, and avoid stress.
Health Tips
Do not make any decision about termination yet. Only after a repeat scan and clinical review can the viability be confirmed. If you develop bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or fainting episodes, seek immediate care.
