Hi,
I am 1 and a half month pregnant and did my first ultra sound yesterday. Since the fetus was not visible in the abdominal scan the doctor did an trans vaginal scan and found a gestational sac measuring 24.4mm, yolk sac measuring 3.6 mm. the fetal pole was seen and cardiac activity was present. But the heart rate was very low- 71 bpm. CRL was mentioned as 5.9 mm (6 weeks 6 days). The doctor told there is less chance for the baby to survive more than 3 weeks and asked for another scan within 2 weeks. Just wanted to know is there any chance for the heart beat rate to increase during these 2 weeks. The doctor seemed not at all sure about the baby's survival

Hope somebody will answer my question soon since am very much tensed. This is my first pregnancy and I don't want to lose the baby.. I am 27 years old and I don't have any bleeding or spotting till now. And in the scan it was detected that I have a fibroid of 6cm. Will this be the reason for low heart-rate. The doctor is not telling anything about it
