Kindly suggest me whether i have to go for US after 1-2 week or do as suggested by diagnostics doctor.
Brief Answer:
missed abortion
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
By 6 weeks, there is should be a definite fetal pole and cardiac activity. If there is neither by 6 weeks, then its a missed abortion which has to be terminated.
If you have already crossed 7 weeks, and there is no cardiac activity, then its very unlikely that will appear in follow up scans. You will need to have a termination.
See your doctor about that.

Madam, Why this problems created 2nd time while all the reports are ok as suggested by my gynaec. Periods are coming well in time.
Brief Answer:
Difficult to say
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Its difficult to pin point a reason for this. There can be no reason as well as various other possibilities like genetic/chromosomal disorders, certain antibody problems etc, infections etc. She needs tests as well as chromosomal analysis of both parents and the abortus. No reason that there wont be a successful pregnancy in the future.
