If the CRL is <7 mm and there is no heartbeat, the pregnancy may be classified as an intrauterine pregnancy of uncertain viability, and repeat TVS after an appropriate interval is commonly used.
But when the CRL is already 9.8 mm, if there is unequivocally no cardiac activity on a technically adequate TVS, waiting for the heartbeat to “appear later” is generally not expected to change the diagnosis.
Next Steps
Repeat ultrasound after a week

At this stage, whether a heartbeat shows up clearly can depend on the exact gestational age and how the scan was timed, so one reading alone should not be treated as the final answer.
Next Steps
A repeat scan after several days, done by your obstetrician, is the standard way to confirm what is happening before any decision is made.
