Brief Answer:
Negligible chance of viability
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I would like to know about your previous menstrual cycle if it was regular or prolonged.
In case you had regular cycle then chances of viability in this pregnancy are grim because according to your last period date it has already been 8 weeks and if still there is no cardiac activity then it wont be there in future either.
In case you have any other question i will be glad to answer.
Regards
Dr Manisha

Thanks for your reply. I still want to wait for another 7-8 days. Can that harm me in sime manner? Or can i wait ?
Brief Answer:
Can wait, no harm
Detailed Answer:
Yes dear you can very well wait for 7-10 days and get a repeat scan done.
There is no harm in waiting for that but in case you start bleeding or there is excessive pain then visit your doctor immediately.
