We went to the doctor and I had an ultrasound. They measured the fetus arouns6.5 weeks. I also had a fetal pole , but no fetal heartbeat flicker. Anyone gone through this before? My doctor thinks I will miscarriage.

Did they schedule you for another ultrasound? It MAY be too early to see the heartbeat, usually can be seen by 7 weeks via ultrasound.

Keep us posted!!

I had an US yesterday at 6 weeks 4 days and was able to see the heartbeat, but I'm not sure if that's normal or not.

I read somewhere that depending on your body size and type you can have a harder time hearing the heartbeat. It said that muscular women have a harder time because there is more getting in the way of them hearing it.

I don't know if that's a factor for you, but that's what I had read.

Be patient though, my mom's friend in high school had that same problem and she refused to believe that her baby was gone. 4 weeks later, they found a very strong heartbeat.

Good luck!!

By 6.5 weeks you should see a heart beat. As a general rule the heart should be beating by 6 weeks. It often starts at 5w4d-5w6d. If they did a vaginal ultrasound then the information is probably accurate. I hope they are mistaken though. Good luck.

My 1st US there was no HB either. Only a gestational sac. The Dr. had me come back in a couple weeks and we saw one then. Hope it goes the same for you - I too was worried. Best of luck.

Same thing happened to us on Monday. They did find a fetal pole. It measured 3.8mm and it was 6 weeks 1 day. We go back on Monday for another u/s. My wife is happy a little worried. I'm the one stressing out big time. We've been trying for for a few years and just stopped using fertility pills. Funny thing is is that we talked to our Doc on Oct 7th, and mentioned maybe we should look in to ivf.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the same exact scenario happened to me at 6 weeks with my first pregnancy and it ended in a miscarriage. I had a blighted ovum where the fetus never formed. There was a sac and yolk that looked like a fetus, but there was no heartbeat. I went back two more times, and no heartbeat. I hope and pray this is not happing to you. But if it does, know that in some twisted way, it is meant to be.

Same happened to me earlier this year. Had to have a D&C done too.
