7wks 5 days (NO HEARTBEAT) Help !

[pleasant1157]

So today i went to my OB/GYN cus i felt flu like symptoms and da dr. decided to give me an internal ultrasound....he said da size of da baby wasnt the size it should have been and he also said that there wasnt no heartbeat.....n he also said that i would either eventually miscarry or the calculations of how far long i am were wrong. My last period was September 7,2011 but i had implantation bleeding on October 8th . This is really getting the best of me can i really be less weeks since i had implantation bleeding on the 8th of Oct. ?.... Or is it normal not to hear you bbys heartbeat at 8wks....cs ive heard that some females dont hear their babys heartbeat till ike 12 weeks long. I dont wanna lose faith i really wanna have this baby .

Hi I am an RN working in NY state and I can tell you this. You can absolutely see a heartbeat via u/s at as little as 6 weeks and will absolutely be able to hear a heart beat via Doppler at as early as 8 weeks.  If you are earlier in your pregnancy than originally predicted by your lmp then your Dr should of done measurements via u/s and told you your new due date. I would call and ask your Dr because usually when ur that early that's the reason for the u/s anyway and I can't imagine they didn't get measurements. Good luck and hope everything works out.

i have seen a heart beat at all ultrasounds for all three pregnancys. 1st preg didnt hear a heart beat till 14 weeks i didnt find out till 11 weeks scan was 11 weeks 1 day heart beat viseable,  2nd preg didnt hear heart beat until 15 weeks found out i was preg at 12 weeks 2 days had scan same day heart beat viseable but not heard. 3rd pregnancy i am now 11 weeks 1 day 1st scan was 6 weeks hear beat was viseable and i am getting a faint hearing of heart beat on midwife fetal doppler. so proven there every pregancy is different. if you are 5 weeks you should be seeing a heart beat some women dont but u need futher testing

alot of women get concerned between 6-12 weeks if they cant hear a baby i work at the hospital as a registra as i previously worked in a medical centre. i see this all the time. if you were 8 weeks yes they should see a heart beat at a ultrasound, but theres many causes this may not happen like gestional age being wrong  and not being far enough along. heart beat being viseable usually is about 5 weeks . they do say here that it is normal for most women to not hear a heart beat until 14 weeks they say this so people dont freak out when its not needed, but there should be a heart beat viseable at the least. It also depends how they are trying to hear the heart beat.
Some people mistake implantion bleeding for a period thats not its normal self i did it myself. it is very hard to tell some time s almost impossible.
Every womens baby devolps differently and at different stages. I would not stress out about it until you have had futher testing

i say that what i had might of bn implantation bleeding because 3-4 days before i blead i did a HPT n it ws negative den when i blead that one day i tested the day after and it ws Positive. n ppl do say dt once u have implantational bleeding to test after and u bound to get that positive test .

I had an internal ultrasound at 8 weeks and didn't see a heartbeat but finally did at 10 weeks. Don't stress too much.
