It's between 6 and 7 weeks - tho it can be earlier, they don't like to check for one earlier because it might worry you! I had my early scan at 6+5 and they saw a heartbeat (with abdominal scan) so maybe an internal would have been earlier. If you go for an early scan, ask for a picture because it's amazing to look back at that little bean and think wow that's my baby! xxxxx
I had an internal last week at 5 and 3 days and they couldn't see one then i had an abdominal one yesterday at 6 weeks and 3 days and the clinical report said that heart pulsations were seen.
Thanks for your replies ladies. Did a bit of research too and it does seem to be around the 6 week mark.
I ask because I got a bfp this week (hooray after 2 consec mcs and a lot of upset) and because I have recently been diagnosed with a blood clotting thing, I need to begin injections as soon as a heartbeat is detected.
Had a scan on thurs which showed I was roughly 4 weeks and am booked in for next thurs when I'll be about 5 weeks. Your replies have reassured me that should no heartbeat be seen next week, it's too early to panic (although I'm sure I will be a bit gutted at waiting another week to find out!).
Really appreciate all your replies and hope that you're all doing great, Love Em xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
