Hello

Thanks for writing to us

If the gestational sac is irregular and there was no yolk sac and hCG levels are not double within 72 hrs means it is a case of missed abortion and you have to get it evacuated.

Find out the cause by getting investigations done like TORCH , APA ,ACA, blood sugar F , VDRL , ABO and Rh typing , thyroid profile etc

As you are having the history of PCOD so there can be chances of missed abortion due to hormonal imbalance

Best wishes

Take care

Any further query is most welcome
