Fetal heartbeat

[Crystal~Rose]

I am 9 weeks today and the Dr was unable to pick up a heartbeat. Just curious how far along any of you were when you heard yours. I am a bit anxious, my sonogram is two weeks away. My last pregnancy at 8 weeks we found out I had a blighted ovum (the baby never formed just the placenta and sac were visible on sonogram)
I was so hoping today my mind would be put at rest

I've never even had them try before 12 weeks, so I'm not sure when you should definitely hear it. Will be praying for you.

Thank you for your prayers. She said its just probably too soon, I am a worrier

I heard mine at 9.5 weeks, but the doc said it would be normal and OK if we hadn't heard it.

9 weeks would be early to hear it. With my daughter we heard it at 10.5 weeks and with my son we couldn't hear it until 12 weeks.

12 weeks...

I had a yucky scare this pg. Previously I had heard it at 9weeks, but this time dr couldn't find it. He said its normal and I knew it was early so we waited four weeks until my next appt. I was sure by 13 weeks, we'd find it. But we didn't! Dr said it was cuz his doppler was old and not to worry. Not to worry??? It was like 2 days before Christmas and I was so upset. I called my obgyn and they got me a u/s scan right away. There was my little bean, moving around and heart pumping away! Phew!
I will say a prayer for you, but take heart, it really IS very early at nine weeks to hear it, especially since dopplers may be different and in different shape!
Hugs!

They didn't even try to find mine until i was 18 weeks for the very reason that you can't always pick it up.
When i had my scan at just over 12 weeks they said they could see it but i couldn't.

From what i've heard it's unusual to hear it as early as 9 weeks.

They heard mine around 11 or 12 weeks, then at 13 weeks, I fainted and went to the doctor, and they couldn't find it! DH and I were freaking out until they scheduled us an ultrasound that showed her perfectly healthy! My doctor told me they are still so small at that point, and sometimes finding the heartbeat can be hit and miss because they might be moving around too much. (Like mine was!) I'll be praying that your next appointment will reveal a strong, healthy heartbeat!

I saw mine at ten weeks, they had to do an U/S cause I was concerned I had miscarried. They said it was too early to hear it, though.

I really appreciate all the responses here, thank you all for helping to ease my mind a bit until my US

They also didn't even try until about 16wks with me, because not being able to find it when it's very early is more stressful than just waiting! My appointment yesterday at 28weeks they had trouble finding it cos bubs was wrigling and hiding behind the placenta!!
I had had an ultrasound at 13wks due to bleeding and saw my baby happy as larry bouncing all around! If you're really stressing then I would get an ultrasound but 9weeks is VERY early to hear a heartbeat!

I saw both my girls' heartbeats at 7 weeks and heard them at 12 weeks.

 

[Crystal~Rose]

I had my sonogram... I am suppose to be 10 wks but the US revealed a embryo that stopped developing weeks ago that has no heartbeat or vital organs
I am scheduled for a D&C monday morning
