Suggest Remedy For Lack Of Development Of Fetus

My period can start anywhere from the 7th to the month to the 15th. My husband and I had unprotected sex July 17th. I had just ended my period a couple days prior. I took a pregnancy test August 3rd and it was positive. That was weeks before my expected period. I called the dr and made an appointment. This morning I had a ultrasound. The ultrasound tech could only see the gestational sac. It measured 15mm. She said she should definitely see the yolk sac and fetus pole. The baby probably stopped developing, we would take blood test today and then again in a couple days. I have am been researching online and see where sometimes they still can t see the yolk sac. I called backed and spoke to the nurse (not the doctor) she said there is a chance it s still to early. The dr. said it could go either way. Could she still possibly just not see it? I have more blood work Wed. 2 days later and then another ultrasound Thursday. 4 days from the first ultrasound. i m getting conflicting answers from tech and nurse. Is 15tmm mean that there s no chance of positive outcome without seeing yolk and pole now?

As your pregnancy test came positive before the period time that means that your concwption has taken place soo early in the cycle.
As your doctor done ultrasound and told that gestation sac has developed,that means fertilization and implantation has taken place but viable fetus is there or not is confirmed only by heart beats.
By per vaginal route at 5 weeks you can see heart beats and by per abdomen 1 week later means at 6 weeks.
So to confirm that viable fetus is there or not heart beats is the main thing to see.
Hope your dr will help you further...
