I had a u/s at 5w2d and didn't see a heartbeat 1 week later and it was there!!  I think it is too early.

I had an ultrasound at 5w6d and only saw a sac and at 6w1d we saw the heartbeat. Even a couple days can make a HUGE difference that early in pregnancy.

Indeed it is. I'm sure by 6w you and your doc will be able to find it:) The very best of luck to you!

At 5 weeks you most likely would only see a sac and yolk.dont worry im sure on your next scan you will see alot more.

Your baby's heart is not completely formed, about 3/4 of the way, but nonetheless it begins to beat within the fifth week.  However, it is more common for an ultrasound to pick up heartbeats in the sixth week.
