When did u see/hear a heart beat?

PrayingMom2Be

Hi all!
Had my first u/s today, all went well! RE saw and showed us gestational sac and yolk also told us before starting that we may not see/hear a heart beat yet because I'm still early (6w1d according to him but sonogram says 6w4d) although we did see a flicker. Second u/s scheduled for the 25th. Would love to hear your stories and calm my nerves a bit, lol. TIA! 

Happy almost weekend!

Hi @prayingmom2be.
Due to bleeding I had an us at 5+6 days and saw just the sac and maybe a yolk, but that was it. 
At 6+3 days I had a new us. Saw embryo and a tiny little flicker.
That tiny little flicker was stronger at 8+3 days and I saw it again at 9+1 day. 
I still have not heard it though. 
But my baby is 10 weeks today so I guess just seeing the little flicker is all it needs  

so fantastic news you saw it!

I got to see the heart beat at 6w6d and I heard it for the first time at 11w6d. That's great you sw a flicker already!

My RE doesn't schedule US before 7 weeks for that very reason. We saw the heartbeat at that time. Hearing it was much later...I'm going to say around 12 weeks? I got a home doppler around 10 weeks and had trouble consistently finding it before 12-13 weeks (turns out I also have an anterior placenta which didn't help).

Our first US was scheduled at 6w2d, but we also ended up having one in the ER at 5w5d...both times we saw the heart beat. Heard it for the first time at our appt at 12w3d. Good luck! You'll see/hear it, just takes a little (more) time and patience

First saw it at 5w5d and first heard it at 8w3d.

I saw my little ones HB at five weeks (almost six ) and heard it at 7 weeks I wanna say ?

We had our first ultrasound at 5 weeks and nothing. At 6 weeks, we could see the heart beating, but not hear it. At 7 weeks ultrasound we were able to hear it congratulations and good luck mama!

Thank you ladies! I'm grateful that we saw a flicker but was really hoping for an actual heartbeat but RE was not concerned at all! At my next ultrasound I'll be 7w5d so here's to praying that I see that heartbeat!
We're having family over for New Years dinner on Sunday and this is what I plan to pass to each family. 


Happy Friday, hope all is well!!

We saw flickers and heartbeats were record at 105 and 111 at just over 6 weeks.  We then first heard the heartbeats at OB appointment around 10 weeks!
