Dear Practo user, CRL still the same , that means no growth, no point in waiting further , you can opt for S&E , and also send the product of conception for karyotyping , just to r/o any genetic cause

Next Steps

You definitely need prepregnancy counselling before u decide to plan again (should be after 6mths ideally) with early initiation of some medicines like folic acid and Aspirin

Hello, Since there is no cardiac activity seen, so there is no growth. This is a missed abortion. You can go for d & c.

CRL is 5.2 mm. So u can wait. If there is absence of heartbeat in less than 7 mm CRL doesn't rule out Missed miscarriage. So can wait..NO HARM..

I assume you had aspontaneous abortion at 10 weeks . Are your periods regular ? Sometimes conception may have happened later and cardiac activity not seen .

Next Steps

If you have no spotting, bleeding or pain I suggest you wait for another week and repeat a scan provided your periods are regular ie 28 to 30 days . If your periods happen to be delayed every month by a few days then you should wait for another 10 days. Meanwhile you can also have a serum beta HCG which will tell you if you have a normal pregnancy

Health Tips

If you do have symptoms of bleeding/pain then see your gynae
