Hi,
Thanks for writing..
Yes, collapsed yolk sac is not a sign of healthy pregnancy.. But this is not confirmatory.. Get a hcg blood test and repeat after 48 hrs to see for doubling time.. If doubling present, it means it is a heathy pregnancy.. Keep up the positive approach.. Let's hope for the best.. Hope I have answered your query.. good day..
