Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. I would ask you to repeat the sonogram through the trans-vaginal route to confirm the absence of the fetal cardiac activity. You can couple this with serial titres of serum beta-hCG. Good progress is indicated when the titres double every 2-3 days. If negative, missed abortion is confirmed. You may wait for a week for spontaneous expulsion failing which, an induced medical or surgical abortion is needed. Hope your query has been clarified. Take care.
