  5. My wife is 8 weeks pregnant, and our last ultrasound showed no cardiac activity. The report mentioned "likely missed abortion." Our gynecologist suggested continuing with the medication since there are no signs of a miscarriage yet. We're following the doctor's advice, but we're both really worried about the next ultrasound in 10 days. Is it possible that things could still turn around? Should we be more concerned?
