I am not sure what a low yolk sac means, but if it means that it is present inthe cervix, then the loss is almost inevitable, or there is a cervical ectopic pregnancy, and the is even more dangerous than a tubal pregnancy. You'll need to wait unless she starts to bleed again, which is a hallmark of a cervical ectopic, then it needs to be removed and treated.
