I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It must be a difficult and stressful time for you. It's important to remember that every pregnancy is different and doctors sometimes take a cautious approach when they cannot detect a fetal heartbeat early on. At 7 weeks and 3 days, it can be challenging to detect a fetal heartbeat, and sometimes it is not always conclusive. It is advisable to follow your doctor's guidance and recommendations. However, it may also be beneficial to seek a second opinion from another medical professional or specialist to confirm the situation before making any decisions. It's essential to take care of yourself both physically and emotionally during this time. Surround yourself with supportive loved ones, seek counseling if needed, and make sure to address any concerns or questions with your healthcare provider. Remember, it's okay to seek a second opinion and explore all options available to you. Take your time to process the information and make a decision that feels right for you and your situation. If you have any further questions or need additional support, feel free to reach out to the forum community or healthcare providers. You are not alone, and there are resources and people who can help you through this challenging time. https://invl.io/cll6she

Hi there thanks for your reply. The doctor was pretty rude and I did my scan in Korea not Singapore. She literally brush everything off when i attempted to ask her questions. 😔 She did not even tell me exactly how many weeks am I pregnant from the scan at all when I prompted her. The scan was like 5 mins and she told me it’s a missed abortion and told me to schedule for an appt to get it done. I told her I prefer to go back to Singapore instead and seek for another opinion. And she said just plan whatever I want to. I text my Dr in Spore and he told me repeat the scan again in 1 week’s time and told me don’t do anything for now. So I seek for another second opinion in another hospital instead to get my scan done in 1 week’s time. Hopefully everything will goes out smoothly in my next scan…

If you are concerned, you may consult another gynae to confirm it before aborting.
