A member asked:
Can you tell me about fetal pole without heartbeat at 6 weeks 1 day?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Worrisome: Normally a fetal heatbeat can be detected by a good machine at about 5 weeks. Sometimes technical difficulties make this harder. The absence od a heartbeat at six weeks could be technical or could indicate a nonviable fetus/ missed abortion. Suggest rescanning in 5-7 days to look again for the heartbeat

Normal: Heart activity usually starts about half way through the 6th week.
