Fetal Pole "flickering" but no heartbeat

Fetal Pole "flickering" but no heartbeat

I went in for an ultrasound at exactly 6 weeks 1 day and we saw a fetal pole "flickering", but the doc could not get a reading on it with the doppler, so we were not able to hear it. I thought this looked like a heartbeat to me, he said it was an active fetal pole, but too early to call it heartbeat. What do you all think? Have you ever heard of this or experienced it?

I go in tomorrow again. I will be exactly 7 weeks.

Thanks!
