A member asked:
5 1/2 weeks pregnant. had an ultrasound saw the gs sac & yolk. is it normal not to hear a heartbeat yet? i have another appt at 7 weeks. maybe then?

Yes: Although embryologically the heart starts to beat at 21 days it is not uncommon to not hear it at 5 weeks. Usually 8 weeks is a good time to expect to hear the heart beat.
