Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of ultrasound is as follows:
There is some bleeding in the gestational sac.
Bleeding suggests threat of abortion.
If bleeding continues, the products of gestation can dislodge and result in abortion.
The cervical canal is closed thus the pregnancy can be saved.
You need to consult your obstetrician immediately for management.
Rest of the parameters i.e. gestational age, fetal activity, measurements assessing fetal age are within normal range.
The fetus is viable so prompt management can safe the pregnancy else abortion can set.
Thanks and take care
