Is it normal to have no fetal heartbeat or embryo at 6 weeks of pregnancy?

After getting married, when the relationship is stable, the couple will plan the next step of their life. Many couples want to have their own baby immediately, so that their daily life can become more colorful. After knowing that they are pregnant, women who are looking forward to pregnancy will definitely become very excited and pay great attention to their bodies. If some bad habits in daily life are not corrected in time, it is easy to cause bad situations. Let's take a look at what is the reason for no fetal heartbeat or fetal bud at 6 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy?

Is it normal to have no fetal heartbeat at six weeks of pregnancy?

If you see a fetal bud or fetal heartbeat at the end of the sixth week, it is possible that the baby is not developing well or that the pregnancy is still short. If the menstrual period is irregular and often delayed, the ovulation time will be unstable, which will affect the calculation of the number of weeks of pregnancy. It is recommended to relax emotionally, not to be anxious, and to have blood tests to measure the levels of chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone, and to receive targeted treatment based on the test results.

After one week, check back for the baby's growth and development. Pay attention to rest, closely observe abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, pay attention to light food, avoid irritating food, strictly prohibit excessive exercise, prohibit sexual intercourse and sitz bath, and seek medical attention immediately if any condition occurs.

What is the reason for no fetal heartbeat or fetal bud at 6 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy?

1. It is uncommon for the embryo to be very small, because many pregnant women have a long menstrual cycle before pregnancy, menstrual disorders and other factors, which may lead to errors in the number of days of pregnancy. Some pregnant women have amenorrhea for 49 days, but that does not mean that the pregnancy is a full 49 days. Therefore, if no embryo is found during B-ultrasound at 7 weeks of pregnancy, it may be that the pregnancy is too short and the embryo has not yet grown. Pregnant women do not need to worry too much and can come back for a follow-up checkup after a week.

2. Fetal growth retardation. If the test tube embryo does not grow and develop, the B-ultrasound will show that there is a gestational sac but no fetal bud or fetal heartbeat, and it will be accompanied by a small amount of vaginal bleeding. Therefore, if no embryo is seen during pregnancy, it may be a sign that the test tube embryo has already stopped growing and developing and needs to be aborted.

3. The main reason why the embryo stops developing is the chromosomal abnormality of the sperm and egg combination, which is largely due to natural replacement. Pregnant women don't need to be too sad, they should take the initiative to do a good job of examination and prepare for the next pregnancy.

Diseases that cause IVF embryo growth termination:

1. Fetal growth retardation refers to the cessation of growth and development of a test tube embryo, that is, the growth and development is terminated without the birth of a fetus. It is different from miscarriage in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. If the embryo stops developing, all pregnancy reactions of the pregnant mother will gradually disappear.

2. There are no more early pregnancy reactions such as nausea, vomiting, etc., and the feeling of breast swelling will also weaken. Vaginal bleeding may occur, often with dark red bloody vaginal discharge. There may also be lower abdominal distension and pain, and the test tube embryo may be expelled.

3. The above symptoms vary from person to person. Some may not even have any signs, but may experience abdominal pain immediately, followed by miscarriage, or the fetus may stop developing and then be discovered through basic B-ultrasound examination without any symptoms.
