Brief Answer:
HCG levels are normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
At 5 weeks 4 days gestation your HCG levels are normal and are suggestive of a growing fetus inside. The internal septations can be present with a normal fetus. The irregular crenulated margins are worrisome as these can be associated with a missed abortion. It is best to get a repeat scan done after 2 weeks to monitor the growth of your baby.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Are there symptoms for missed abortion

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (13 hours later)

Brief Answer:
The fetal heart is detectable by 6 weeks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
In case of a missed abortion a fetal heart is not detectable. In your case a repeat scan after a week can detect the growth. Right now the irregularcsacis a worrisome finding.
