Why is there no heartbeat detected during the eight-week pregnancy scan?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. It could be a missed miscarriage.

If a person has polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and irregular menstruation, the cycle dates may not match the dates of the ultrasound. Thus the calculation of the expected date of delivery through ultrasound is better to manage the patient. If it is not a healthy pregnancy you may get symptoms such as bleeding, abdominal pain, or passage of clots. Kindly follow up with the scan report and details of your cycles, previous surgical, medical, and gynecological history, and the medications that were taken for conception. The treatment plan depends on the scan report and findings.

I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below.

1. Rescan after two weeks to check for a healthy pregnancy.
2. Report to the hospital immediately if you experience symptoms such as bleeding, low blood pressure, dizziness, or fainting.
3. Follow-up after two weeks.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
