Hi,

Presence of embryo is a positive finding, usually we expect a heat beat to be seen once embryo size is 7 mm.
So it would be best to repeat scan after 10 days and check for heart beat.
Yolk sac more than 5mm are known to be associated with miscarriage, so I would advised you to have a regular ultrasound scan to track the growth of the embryo.
Also I would like to ask you, are you sure of your dates and do you have a regular cycle?
As usually fetal heart should be present by 7 weeks. But its possible that the conception occurred later or cycles are not regular.
Only a repeat scan after 10 days of this scan, will tell us about the growth and prognosis.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
