Missed abortion: It can be due to a condition called "missed abortion" which is not uncommon in first trimester. There can be one twin with heart beat and the other no heart beat or both demise. Most common cause is: genetic abnormality, but it does not necessarily increase the risk of recurrence in future pregnancy

Need follow up: You will need a follow up ultrasound in 1 -2 weeks to evaluate the status of the findings. Sometimes the embryo is too small to clearly show a heartbeat prior to 6 weeks. Your doctor will likely correlate this with your lab results.
