6 week scan questions

Hi all

This is my first pregnancy at the age of 42 after many years of infertility and unsuccessful IVFs/FETs. I am over the moon to be pregnant but naturally very worried that everything will be ok. I have a scan on Monday and will be 6week +1. Did those of you that had a scan this early get to see a heartbeat?

Thank you

I did, yes. On what my consultant said was 6 weeks bang on, but now my hospital says it would have been 6 weeks and 2 days based on the day 5 embryo transfer date. No one can agree on these things, but it should be there by then. And if not, if it’s a slower developer, you’ll still get a lot of info from the pregnancy being in the right place and having all the right elements. The very best of luck!

Hi lovely,

I saw a heartbeat at 6+3, but they did also say that its not uncommon to not see one at this point.

I think ideally you would see one though.

Wishing you lots of luck for the scan - I know how anxiety inducing they are! xx

Many congratulations to you. Fabulous news. I got pregnant at 40 via ICSI, and had my beautiful, now 15 month old baby girl. I remember my 6 week scan vividly. We got to see the little flicker on the screen and heard the most wonderful sound, our beautiful baby’s heartbeat. We cried ALOT!!

Wishing you the best of luck x x

mine was 6+3. The nurse warned me that not everyone sees a heartbeat that early but I did x
