Hi all,
I had my first ultrasound last week when I was supposed to be 5 weeks 6 days or so. My cycles are VERY regular. I am high risk given I suffer from unexplained RPL so I went to the hospital early to check if ectopic.
The ultrasound printout noted "faint fetal cardiac activity. At the time of the scan, the tech tried to show me what she thought was the start of a beating heart, but she said it was too early to hear or count.
Did anyone else have an ultrasound this early and, if so, were they able to count? My MCs usually happen around that stage (ie. baby stops growing then), so I'm quite worried.. I've heard from others that tech was able to see and count theirs at 5/6 weeks.
Also, my HCG was 41,000. I can't find online what HCG correlates to how the heart should appear, etc.
Thank you!
