What Causes Absent Fetal Heartbeat On Pregnancy Scan?

So I went to see my High Risk Pregnancy doctor last week they said they couldn t find my fetus heartbeat they said it was measuring at 10 weeks. Today I went to my regular OB they said they couldn t find a heartbeat but said it s measuring at 11 week. How can a fetus grow with no heartbeat?
