I'm 5 months pregnant and my doctor suggested I take Lupiheme tablets every other day. I've been reading online that it might not be safe. Can anyone help me figure out if I should be taking this? I'm a bit unsure about what to do.

Question

I'm a bit worried about my recent ultrasound report: USG shows 8 weeks 4 days, with a single intrauterine gestational sac and yolk sac visible, but no fetal pole is seen yet. The decidual reaction is described as moderate to good and the sac measures 2.2 cm. Is there still hope for continuing the pregnancy, or could this be an anembryonic gestation? The doctor has suggested a follow-up after a week. What should I expect?
