Hello

In such an early pregnancy only a follow up scan will be reassuring.
A fetal pole with cardiac activity is visualised by 7 weeks of pregnancy. As the gestational age according to LMP does not coincide with the ultrasound finding , there is a chance of delayed conception which can also be identified by a repeat ultrasound.

Soerm quality is tested by sperm analysis.
