8 Weeks and 4 days since last period......ultrasound done today...

HELLO EVERYONE, IT HAS BEEN 8 WEEKS AND 4 DAYS TODAY SINCE MY LAST PERIOD AND I WENT IN TO HAVE A ULTRASOUND DONE ON TODAY. WELL, AS ALWAYS, THE TECHNICIAN NEVER WANTS TO GIVE YOU ANY INFO REGARDING THE RESULTS, BUT I HAVE A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO WHAT I SAW ON THE SCREEN MYSELF. THERE WERE THREE SCANS DONE......UPPER ABDOMEN, LOWER ABDOMEN, AND TRANSVAGINAL. ON ALL THREE SCANS, I SAW SOMETHING PULSATING ON THE SCREEN. THE TECHNICIAN KEPT LOOKING AT THE THUMPING PICTURE ON THE SCREEN. SO THEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO DO THE LOWER ABDOMEN, SAME THING, PULSATING PICTURE ON THE SCREEN. THEN SHE HAD ME EMPTY MY BLADDER AND SHE DID THE TRANSVAGINAL, SAME THING. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHETHER I WAS WITNESSING MY BABY'S HEARTBEAT BECAUSE MY BLOOD TEST AND URINE TEST CAME BACK NEGATIVE ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AGO. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INPUT.

Sounds like it to me Maume3. I thought I was just imagining things at first but when I saw that same beat on all three scans, I said this has got to be a heartbeat. Thanks again. I'll keep you informed on the result when I get them this week.

Sounds like a heartbeat to me. If it was, the little thing would have been beating at around 120 beats a min...does that sound like it?
