Heartbeat on Ultrasound

I am going in Wednesday for my ultrasound at 5 weeks 3 days. Did anyone have an early ultrasound done? If so, were you able to hear the heartbeat?

    I had one at 5 weeks and all you could see was the yolk sac -- they can tell if everything is in the right place and if its single or twins usually but no HB.

    I had an ultrasound the same time as you last week. They just found the gestational sac and determined it was a singleton non-ectopic pregnancy. Way too early to see much (for me).

    My first appointment was at 5 weeks and 2 days and my doctor didn't do an u/s because he said all we would be able to see was a sac that early.  I don't think you can see the heartbeat until after 6w and a few days.  Good luck!

    It's probably too early to see it let alone hear it. I didn't hear the heartbeat until 8w6d. I think 6 weeks is standard for being able to see it.

    I went in right at 6 weeks.... and they did not hear the hearbeat - but the gestional sac looked good - and they could see a little bit of the baby... but not enough :-)  (my opinion)  My uterus is in a funny position - kinda tilted back... so things are alittle small to see - I have another ultrasound scheduled in 3 weeks - It's soooo terrible to have to wait!

    Good luck!

    I had one right at or a day before 6 weeks and they were able to see the sac and yolk however no HB was seen. I was told it was too early and am having another one this Thursday where I will be 7W1D. So yes, I don't think you will be able to see much let alone see the HB.

    At my first visit 6 weeks 1 day, they did an ultrasound and we could see the heartbeat and it wasn't even an internal ultrasound.

    We thought I was 7 weeks but the size of the yoke was more like a 5-6 weeks. We could see the pulse but she tried to get a HB rate and she couldn't. So we have another appointment next week.

    I was having some bleeding issues early on. At my 5w4d internal u/s they were able to see the sac and a heartbeat. I was shocked they could see this so early on. Felt good that everything was okay.
