EP scan cardiac flicker but unmeasurable

2025-10-30 02:48:35
We did scan on 6 weeks 6 days since lmp but in report says that gestational age is 6 weeks 1 day with CRL of 5.2mm and cardiac flicker is noted but exact heartbeat could not be measured. Is this sign of non viable pregnancy. Is there a reason to worry? There is a history of previous miscarriage that happened at around same gestational age where heartbeat was not seen.

No it is not You need to understand that heartbeat appears at 7 weeks Also a discrepancy of up to  2 weeks maybe considered normal There is no reason to worry you need to repeat an ultrasound at 7 weeks
