My first scan was this Monday. I am 6 weeks 4 days today. Doc said if the machine had a microphone attached we could hear it, but it didn't so we just saw it.
Does anyone own or rent a fetal Doppler to monitor the heart rate on their own? Just curious...
I have a Sonoline B that I used when I was pregnant with my daughter, that works very well- I am able to detect the HB now I'm just shy of 10wks. They have them for about $40 on Ebay, very reasonable.

Heard both of ours at 7w2d--they had to use a transvaginal ultrasound at OB's office--it was very loud and clear. For some reason they tried a normal ultrasound before that, but couldn't even find either embryo that way... not sure why they even bothered so early.
@wallberry my doc set an appointment for 10 days later from today, I had my first vaginal ultrasound today and we saw yolk sac and gestational sac, and she said we can hear a heartbeat 10 days later. I am currently 4 weeks. LMP 6 weeks, gestational age 4 weeks, so she said we can hear it nearly 30 days after ovulation, 22 days after implantation. Hope these will help
I think it starts beating around 7 weeks. At my first scan (7 weeks), I didn't hear it but I could see it! I was so surprised and wasn't expecting that at all.
Thank you everyone! I'll be 7 weeks on Friday and I am going to the doctor Saturday to see if we can find that heartbeat! @fhopefaithlove1@mommytobe2122@euromom
I had my first u/s at 5w6d (they thought I was further along than I actually was), and we heard the heartbeat. It was lslow (96 bpm), but the doc said that was because it only started beating at 5 weeks. Today I had my third u/s at 7w5d, and it was beating away at 163 bpm!
I wasn't able to hear anything but we could see a heart beat at 5 weeks 4 days ultrasound. It was a little low at 110 but dr wasn't worried with it being so early. I can't wait to hear it at my next appointment in 3weeks!
@nbc2015 I had the same situation today! I went in for my first ultrasound as they thought I would be 9wks. Turns out that I'm only 6 wks and 4 days. Also the heart rate was 96 bpm which they was a little low but they said not to be too worried. However they want me to come back for a 2nd ultrasound in 2 wks. I'm a bit of anxious now. Is this pretty normal as far as my baby's heart rate??!?!
My doctor said the normal range for 6 weeks is about 90-110 so that would be considered normal! According to my doctor I just had mine last Saturday and I was 7 weeks 1 day and heard the heartbeat 133 BPM

Re: Heartbeat
To hear it via dipper is once the uterine is not longer in the pelvic cavity.
