When is everyones first ultrasound? Mine is at 6 weeks 3 days. Im a little worried about not seeing a heartbeat. Has anyone had a Ultrasound done so early? What was your outcome?
@cicchettimama00 Depending on how certain you are of your dates, etc, it might be a bit early to see the heartbeat. I think that’s right around 6 weeks. But, they should be able to see something. I don’t think it’s uncommon to get them around 6 weeks particularly if you have a history of IF or loss. My OB does dating ultrasounds at around 8 weeks and nothing before that, so mine is 8/22 at 7w6d (but maybe more like 7w1d due to late O).
@cicchettimama00 I had one around then last pregnancy (a little bleeding they wanted to check out) and they could see that it has implanted properly (i.e. it wasn’t an ectopic pregnancy), but they couldn’t see a heartbeat yet.
Ultrasound not booked yet. But with my second I had an ultrasound early just past 6 weeks they had to have just caught the heartbeat starting as it was low they thought I was going to have another miscarriage so they sent me for another a week later but warned me to be prepared. I was worried for a full week then went back and the heartbeat was great and strong.
With my first, my ultrasound was exactly 6 weeks (thought I was further along, but late O pushed me back). Although my technician was so unbelievably rude, and traumatized me, there was indeed a visible heartbeat. She showed me it flickering on the screen, but i couldn’t hear it as she said baby was too small for the amount of sound-waves and could do “damage”.
I had an ultrasound last time at 9 weeks and unfortunately didn’t hear a heartbeat. This time, they scheduled me at 7w1d for an early ultrasound because of my history of loss.
@babyrummom I had an appt for the 23rd originally, but realized I have a family wedding I’ll be traveling to, so had to reschedule. But I considered whether this wedding I RSVP’d for months ago was something I need to attend. 😂
Had my first today! My cycles are long and I knew I O’Ed late so the nurse scheduled me one. I was right on with my dates. I’m 7 weeks 1 day and we couldn’t hear heartbeat but able to see it and she was able to measure it at 152 bpm
I'm right around 5 weeks!!! (So early, but couldnt help but take the test as soon as i missed my period, since we were trying!) Ultrasound will be September 12th and we're praying for a good, healthy heartbeat and for time to fly to Sept 12!!
We had our first ultra sound at 5 weeks 3 days and the doctor said everything was looking as expected. We went back yesterday for a 2nd ultrasound at 6 weeks 3 days and even though they could see the yok sac and my beta numbers are up/doubling they could not find a HB.. I am beside myself right now and have to wait until Monday to go back for another ultrasound.
My hubby and I have been TTC for over 7 years and after a year of fertility treatment we finally got a BFP.
Has anything like this happened to anyone else? I am trying to stay positive but I'm so nervous.
Thanks for listening. We haven't told anyone about the BFP so it's nice to have someone to talk to on here.
@Wittlebuddy I’ve never had an ultrasound done so early and mine is next week at 6+4 and I’ve been trying to stay positive but after infertility, I’m nervous too. I’m no expert - but if your beta numbers are up and still doubling that is a good sign so maybe focus on that to help stay positive. Is there something you enjoy that could distract and/or be calming to you? Get outside, go to a movie, get a pedicure, try a new restaurant, get together with a friend or two.... you’ll know what works for you. I’m thinking of you and hope to hear about seeing a HB from your baby on Monday.
It could be still too early. With my second I had a ultrasound around the same time they heartbeat was only like 80 something the ultrasound tech had me scared thinking I was going to miscarry again. After speaking with some other people we guessed they just caught the heartbeat starting I went back in a week later and the heartbeat was 140+. I know it's hard to not think the worst but try and stay positive think of the high numbers and thoughts will be with you that everything turns out ok.
It seems too early! My first was at 7.5w with my daughter and it took a minute to find the heartbeat. Just a few days later— it was much stronger and easier to find.
Because I've been working with a fertility specialist, I received an early ultrasound (6w 2d). Everything was measuring great (according to the doc), and they said they could see early cardiac activity, but that they would not bother trying to measure bpm so early.
This of course has me very nervous, but they said it's never exact and that typically between 6.5 and 7 weeks is when they can confirm a heartbeat. Seems like maybe you were just a little too early and hopefully today will give you clarity. Sending good vibes your way!
My next ultrasound is at 8 weeks with the specialist. They weren't too concerned because they saw the "cardiac activity," but to me I feel still so unsure.
I am happy to report back that they were able to find the heartbeat this morning and everything is looking good. The doctor said he may have miscalculated by a few days when he did the initial ultrasound but as of today they believe I am 6 weeks 5 days. My next ultrasound/appointment is next week and I can't wait to see what changes over that short period of time. Due date is now estimated at 4/08/20.
Thank you for all the good vibes and reassurance. I really needed it over the weekend!
Great news!! So glad to hear. I have my first ultrasound next Tuesday, can’t wait for it, usually time goes by so fast but I feel like since becoming pregnant time seems to move slower that it used to haha.

Stay strong and have faith, mama. ❤️
