What causes no fetal detection in sonography after positive UPT?
Patient: IM PREGNANT AND IVE HAD THREE SONOGRAMS, THE FIRST AND LAST SONOGRAM I RECEIVED THE BABY WAS DETECTED BUT A HEART BEAT WAS NOT. THE SECOND TIME NO BABY WAS SEEN ON THE SONOGRAM. WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE? I WAS TOLD THAT ID BE SCHEDULED A D&C BUT WAS NOT TOLD WHEN. Doctor: You didn't mention about your gestation week.  If it is more than 7 week and no fetal heart beat then it'd missed abortion and in that case you need d&c.
