At alittle over 7 weeks I had a transvaginal u/s and we were able to see but not hear the heartbeat but that tech measured what it was somehow and it was only 138bpm. Its been consistantly around 145-150 since then. Its probably just still early and the heart beat will pick up soon

that's super early to hear one! Some can't even be seen that early...usually OBs wait until your closer to 8weeks to do a vaginal u/s. Keep your spirits up stressing is no good! You'll be just fine!

My doctor did not listen to the heartbeat until I was 12wks. At 8wks they performed the vaginal sonogram to confirm I was pregnant.  It us way to early to fins the heart beat
