I found out on the 17th of this month that I was pregnant..my period was due on the 9th.
I had my first Ultra sound today to say how far along i was...since the 9th its been just over 7 weeks.....
Anyways when it came up all you could see was the black sack....she thinks Im only 5 weeks preg...its not making sence to me...Im sure Im further along....
how many weeks were some of you when you saw the babies heart beating?

Hi
I had a scare and i was sure I was 6 weeks then I went for an ultrasound and was told I probably won't hold this baby for much longer.
I was sent for a blood test when I thought I wasn't pregnant and was told I had just ovulated.
I went back to the OB like 3days later and everything looked fine but said I had ovulated a week late and there for I was 5 weeks.
We seen a heart beat at 5weeks 3days but only through a internal ultra sound.
I was told I was luck you could even see a embryo, let alone a heart beat.
I'm now 12 weeks and everything is great.
The normal time I think is around the 6 or 7 week mark.
Good luck

Hi thanks for your reply....
wow I'm so glad everything is going well for you
I did'nt have a enturnal just the normal all I could see was a sac...should I be worried that there is nothing in there?
I still have all the preg symptoms which is a good sign I think and there is no bleeding or anything.....
Maybe might of seen more if it was a enturnal ultra sound do you think?
Well i will keep you all posted with it .. thanks

I saw a heart beat at 6 wks. with an internal ultrasound. I think, it's hard to remember. Maybe it was eight weeks??? Oh, now I'm not sure. Sorry I wasn't any help what so ever. I'll try and check my calendar.

Alright, I checked. I hand an internal ultrasound at 5 wks. 6 days and we saw a heart beat. But they also said I looked about a week farther along.

I had my first ultrasound at 7 weeks, and I could see his heart beating good

Thanks for your post, hopefully seeing my doc this week and will get another scan done...fingers crossed!!!
