Fetal heart beat should have been visualized by this time.

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Fetal heart beat should have been visualized by this time.
You are rightly advised for follow up scan after one week.
If fetal heart beat is still not visualized then it may be considered as non viable fetus.

Wish you all the best.
