Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
You should do the same as instructed by her doctor i.e. repeat the Ultrasound for fetal viability in two weeks. Actually this 7 weeks is a grey area. If fetal heart beat is seen at this stage, it confirms viability, if not, you can't say any thing unless you wait for 2 more weeks & see again for fetal heart beat. So, hope for the best & follow your doctor.
Best wishes.
