A member asked:

Can you detect fetal heartbeat 9 days after conception through vaginal ultrasound?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fetal HR: Nope. Fetal cardiac activity is typically detected by 6 weeks gestation. There are typically NO fetal ultrasound findings from day 0-4.3 weeks gestation. By pelvic or vaginal sonogram.
