EP scan cardiac flicker but unmeasurable
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
