Hi my dear,

I understand your worries. If the transvaginal scan did not show any cardiac activity, then, it means that:

- it is too early to show cardiac activity due to small pregnancy age
- possible interruption of fetal development

If your doctor asked to wait for 1 more week, it is because he/she might want to make sure your pregnancy age is too early to show cardiac activity. Let time for the fetus to grow up.

I'd suggest to measure HCG in the blood and further assisted with your OG doctor.

All the best!
