I'm really worried because my ultrasound says I'm 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant, but based on my last menstrual period, I should actually be around 8 weeks. There's no foetal pole seen yet. Is there a chance my pregnancy might not continue? How long should I wait before knowing for sure?

The discrepancy between your gestational age based on LMP (8 weeks) and ultrasound (5 weeks 4 days) is concerning, and the absence of a fetal pole at 5 weeks 4 days is a potential indication of a non-viable pregnancy or a miscarriage, so your healthcare provider may recommend waiting for 1-2 weeks for a follow-up ultrasound to confirm the presence of a fetal pole or heartbeat, but the prognosis is uncertain, and emotional preparation for a potential miscarriage is essential.

My wife's about 11 weeks pregnant. Last month, we could hear the baby's heartbeat, but at her recent check-up, we couldn't hear it anymore. The local doctor wasn't very hopeful. We're really anxious and just wondering if there's any way to possibly revive the fetus's heartbeat and save our baby. Could there be any hope or options we should know about?
