Hi,
If the ultrasound shows that adequate development hasnt taken place, then follow the doctor's advice. Ideally by 6-7 weeks, fetal cardiac activity is usually present. If not, follow up ultrasound is advised. If in the next ultrasound, report is same then it possible that the pregnancy may need termination. Take the medicines given to you. Repeat the scan after 2 weeks.
