I went to the ER for brown spotting yesterday at 5 weeks 2 days. Hcg came back at 3353. They had me come in for an early ultrasound Today and to my surprise, there was a tiny baby and a heartbeat. Baby was measuring 5 weeks 6 days. I celebrated until I heard the results. Heartrate was Very low at 74bpm and they said this could be Because it is so early and getting a reading is
Tricky…or it could be indicative that this will end In miscarriage. They were surprised to see a heart This early. Does anyone have any experiences With healthy pregnancies that started off with A heartrate this low at such an early ultrasound?

My repeat HCG tests came back at a little over double which is good I guess, and I have a repeat ultrasound in 7-10 days. I am so nervous :( I feel like I can’t get excited and the wait is awful.

    I hope you get answer soon. 5 weeks is so early, I didn't know it was possible to get an heartbeat this early so I don't know what is a usual heartrate at that point in the pregnancy. Maybe they saw the heartbeat of the baby but capture your heartrate since it must be stronger the the embryo at that point? We have an arterie that pass really close to the uterus. We kept capting that arterie instead of the baby heart on the doppler because of that in my last pregnancy. Try not to stress too much. The 6-7weeks ultrasound should be a lot better to see the heartrate more clearly.
