    6 weeks is still a little early to see a heart beat.  Did your dr schedule another ultrasound? I believe the heart starts being between 6-7 weeks. FX for a heartbeat.

    Try not to freak out. Even a few days can make all the difference. Best of luck, hope you see the HB soon!!

    6 weeks is early. Don't freak out yet. It's a long road. I always say that these early U/S can be more detrimental than useful, esp when you have a non-reassuring doc. Don't throw in the towel yet!

    Not seeing a heartbeat is probably the number 1 fear of every woman in early pregnancy. I know it definitely was for me. As others said 6 weeks is usually the earliest you will see the heartbeat so it's not super out of the ordinary to not see it yet-- I know it's scary but definitely try not to freak out quite yet. I know lots of women who didn't see the heartbeat at 6 weeks who went on to have perfectly healthy pregnancies.

    My first US was at 6 weeks and we couldn't get the heartbeat either. But at 8 weeks we heard LOs heartbeat loud and clear. Try not to freak out too much yet. It's probably just too early still

    I also went through IVF and went in at 6w1d and was not able to see fetal pole or heartbeat... I went back in at 6w5d and were able to see fetal pole and heartbeat. A few days can make a huge difference. It was such a stressful time for me. Hang in there. Big hugs.

    Sometimes how the baby is positioned it's hard to find the heartbeat. Plus at 6 weeks, the baby is so tiny.

    We had ultrasound at what i thought was 6+2 but no heartbeat . . Went back 14 days later and heartbeat was there with good progression. You might find reassurance in looking through older threads as this seems to be really common.

    We had no HB at 6&4 and DD was born 11 days ago full term and healthy. Try not to panic yet.
