Just about 6 weeks 1st sonogram we couldn't hear heartbeat. Successful IVF

I can't stop wondering if I should be worried. I know I am only about 6 weeks and only about 50% can hear a heartbeat at this time. Everything looked good, sack and yolk intact. My RE said that sonograms can be off give or take 4 days. It said I was 5 weeks 6 days. What he said about my beta levels worried me, he said at 6 weeks I should be 5000 or above. Today is Wednesday so On Friday I was 1283, that was 5 days ago. So if I am not quite 6 weeks I should be ok right? It angers me that he even brought it up, thinking he can't add correctly or got his dates mixed up haha. But now I am worried of course, my levels have been doubling fine and Friday was my last blood test. Awaiting results from today now. I needed piece of mind so I decided to post this. Anyone else in my shoes? I am also concerned that I am no longer ravenous, just sleepy and moody with sore breasts. I am over reacting?

    What remains of the TTC boards might be better to assist you. However, if you are concerned you should be asking your doctor not seeking medical advice/reassurance from an internet chat board. (This is one of the items in TB new guidelines)

    I didn't hear LO's heartbeat until I was about 12 weeks. Definitely did not hear it at those early visits, and dr. was not concerned. Now have a happy and perfectly healthy baby! Best of luck!

    @jenn811w try going over to the Pregnant after IF board, there should be more ladies who can relate.

    This early on measurements could easily be off because baby is so small. Everyone's beta is different, check out this website, www.betabase.info. It's the trend not the number that is more important.

    Good luck!
