Hello XXXXXX
Thanks for writing to HCM
After 7 weeks,it is impossible to miss a fetus in the uterus by trans vaginal sonography(TVS).
Internal ultrasound (also called as TVS )is highly sensitive to detect the fetus.
Infact,it is the investigation of choice to confirm pregnancy.
You have also take pills next morning.These pills are up to 98% effective if taken within 24 hours.
So,chances of pregnancy are nil.
Your symptoms may be due to psychological causes.
Get well soon.
