hb at 10ish weeks by doppler in dr's office

in 1st Trimester

Tomorrow I am going in to check the hb :/ I had that really awful cold with high fever for four days and I've been vomiting my prometrium up and I have a little cessation of symptoms...my food aversions are gone, my nausea (I googled this spelling) is significantly better..maybe this is because I am a little further along, maybe it's because something happened. I had a missed miscarriage so I am basically a crazy person and I need to go in to calm and reassure myself either way. 

I would like to know who has heard the hb at 10ish weeks, with no issue, by doppler in their Drs office. I'd like to know before I go in so I wont become a total basket case if they don't find it right away.

    I heard it at my appointment last week at a few days shy of 10 weeks.  There is a good chance you won't hear it though so don't worry if they can't find it.

    I just went through this yesterday.  I was at the OB's office for 10 week checkup and they could not hear the heartbeat.  They scheduled an ultrasound for this AM because of it and everything was good today.  The nurse at OB's said sometimes at 10 weeks it's too small to hear with their equipment.  The tech today said it's very common not to be able to hear the heartbeat at the dr's office until after 12 weeks.  If they can't find the heartbeat, ask for an ultrasound to make sure everything is OK.

    Both times I heard it at 10 weeks via doppler in the OB office.  I found it myself a couple days ago at home.  So, chances are good!  GL!

    They couldn't find a hb on dopler yesterday (just over 8w) and told me to come back in two weeks if it would make me feel better.  They said if they couldn't find it at 10w, which isn't uncommon they'd do an ultrasound.

    I hope you're able to hear it, but try not to worry too much if you can't.  I had an appointment on tuesday at 11w3d and the Doctor wasn't even going to try to hear the heartbeat.  I asked her to try and she said it would probably be too early and they normally don't even try until at least 12 weeks, but she agreed to do it because I was nervous.  She couldn't find a heartbeat but wasn't concerned in the least bit about it.

    I'm going in next week for my NT scan, if I didn't already have an u/s scheduled, I'd be really worried and ask to come back in a couple weeks to hear it.

    With DS we heard the HB with a doppler at my 12 week appt.. with this one they could not find the HB at 1 1weeks with the doppler, so we did a quick U/S to make sure all was well.

    I heard the heartbeat at exactly 9weeks by doppler in the doctors office... BUT the doctor was sooooo shocked that he didn't believe... so he did an ultrasound check of hearbeat too just to make sure... sure enough it was the same.

    I wouldn't worry if you can't hear it! can they not do an ultrasound to ease your nerves?
