Had an ultrasound at 6 weeks 3 days and saw the heartbeat, try not to worry tho as it depends what kind of scan you have and it can differ as to when a heartbear can be seen..best of luck and congrats

Hey Roxanne,
Actually according to my numbers I was supposed to be 7 w 2d when I went in. When they did the u/s thats when they said I was actually 6 w 4d. Thats means I o'd late. The first u/s I had with my son we couldn't see the heartbeat or hear it. I think it depends on how the baby is situated. The u/s pictures we have are completely different too. I've also heard at 6 wks sometimes they can't see the yolk sack because everything is so small. I wouldn't worry.

@jlmarks..are u calculating ur pregnancy from ur lmp or conception\ovulation date? I have been counting from my lmp so in that sense I am 6 weeks but the fetus wud only be 4weeks. So by the time I c my doc the fetus shud be 6weeks old. Thanx so much for ur feedback. Much appreciated.

My firs u/s this time was on 6w 4d and they could see and we could hear the heartbeat. My first pregnancy was taken the same time but we couldn't see or hear it. I think it just depends.
