6w1d ultrasound worried!!!

[babymamma18]

Hello, I am worried....please help if you know the correct answer. I had my first trans-fag u/s today and they saw everything including fetal pole which measured 3.8 mm and they also saw the yolk sac and everything seemed correct for the exact time of pregnancy....but no fetal heart rate. I am worried because some women do see one at this point and I am 42 and had IVF, does anyone out there know when is the most common time to see the heart rate? I have been told to come back next week....but for now, and with a very difficult history regarding 6 miscarriages many years ago...I am concerned! Help please, I would appreciate any advice!
Thanks

My IVF doc will not even get near a patient with an ultrasound wand until 7 weeks for this very reason.  All it does is freak people out.  Good luck, and keep us posted when you see the ultrasound next week!

I agree.  Hopefully they are planning to do a repeat ultrasuond in a week or so.  By then you should see a fetal heartbeat.  At this point it could just simply be too early.

A lot of women have posted this same question. I've never had an u/s that early, but from what I've read, 6 weeks is often too early to see a heart beat.
