I had a dating scan ultrasound. I am 8 weeks 5days. The findings were gestational age of 5weeks 6 days and a cardiac activity of 70bpm. There is a subchronic haemotoma inferior to the gestational sac. Dr says that this is a falling 1st trimester pregnancy. Dr has ordered HCG bloods and more for Thursday. Is it possible this pregnancy may continue, I have had no bleeding etc.

I apologize in advance, but we are not OBs here. I'm as close as you will get, though, as an OB RN.

Unfortunately 70 beats per minute is not considered life sustaining for such a young fetus. Beats per minute (bpm) at birth is 110 - 160 beats. In a fetus this young, the FHR is typically a bit higher than 110-160.

Now, not knowing your medical history, I cannot advise whether this pregnancy will continue. You will need to follow up with your personal OB for that.
