Hello Good Evening,

This report is saying that embryo is not well developed and you should wait for next 7-10 days, then go for a repeat sonography.

Sometimes there are blighted ovum also seen, which are basically un-embryonic pregnancies and get spontaneous terminated later on.

After around a week or more, there will be a clear picture of blighted ovum or embryo with cardiac activity.

Usually by 6 weeks in trans vaginal ultrasound fetal cardiac activity can be seen and in trans abdominal scan it has to be noted by 7 weeks, if you undergone trans abdominal scan you can wait for one more week as your doctor told for safe side.

So wait for a week and get repeat USG.

Regards,

Dr. Naresh Jain.
