A member asked:

Spotting at 5wks pregnant at 6 wks i had light brown discharge with mild cramping got a us baby was seen but heart wasnt seen not moving. now im 7wks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Too early...: At 6 wks is really too early to visualize a heart beat. After 7 wks then it is when you are able to detect it. Follow up closely with your OB.
