The fetal average normal heart rate changes over time as the embryo and then fetus develops for 6w5days the range is 103-126, the heart rate keeps increasing until around 9/10 weeks when it peaks at as high as 195bpm (avg 175) and then starts to level down to the heart rate the baby will tend to have through last two trimesters (120-160 bpm) though depending on moms and babies activities the heart rate is going to vary throughout the day etc. Here is a great link to the average normal heart rate based on gestational age

Mine were 144 and 153 at 7w0d and the tech said they want to see over 100 at this point. I think you are doing just fine if that's the case.

Yes. My days were off. Usually when I see the hb around 7 weeks it is only around 110/112 and I always miscarry. This site says 117 is within range but others day differently so I wanted to hear what other people were at at 6w5d. Thank you.

I had an ultrasound this pregnancy at 6w5d as well - the heartbeat was 125 BPM.

For ultrasounds this early, it's lucky that we saw a heartbeat at all! And as Sianny said - 117 BPM is in the range for week 6. The heart only recently started beating - it'll speed up in the coming weeks.

Congrats! :)

Did they say your dates were off when they monitored you as I see yesterday your were 7+1 wks on your profile? Are you sure of your dates?
If you are at 6wks 5days then that is perfect range according to this site.
