Brief Answer:
The pregnancy is not viable.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us.
I have read the details carefully. The foetus is not growing and is not showing any heart beat. Since the HCG levels are also decreasing, this pregnancy is not likely to be fruitful.
It is best to consult your gynaecologist and get further treatment for removal of pregnancy with the help of medicines.
Hope this answer is helpful.
Any further queries are welcome.
Regards
