5 1/2 week ultrasound tomorrow

Okay, I know that's pretty early to see much of anything, but I'm hoping for a miracle that maybe we can see the heartbeat already? Is that even possible? What's the earliest any of you were able to see the heartbeat on a vaginal ultrasound? Have any of you had a sonogram around that same timeframe? What did you see?

Sorry to be so full of questions, just nervous...

I had numerous u/s's at the beginning of this pregnancy. I lost all of what little preg symptoms I had. Now I am totally not trying to freak you out b/c I know you are also concerned of your lack of symptoms. Anyhow...at around 5 1/2 wks preg I had bloodwork drawn due to my concerns. Results showed my progesterone was 6.5...dangerously low. The dr. said they like to see them closer to 20 and that mine were not "workable" and I would most likely lose this baby too (we've lost 2). I had the following u/s's:

6w0d and babe measured 5w3d. We saw a sac, no fetal pole, no hb
6w6d and babe measured 6w0d. We saw the hb!!!!!! The u/s tech told me that had I been in even 24 hours earlier they would not have seen it...babe was that small.

I had others to, but basically, 5 1/2 wks is very early. Not to disappoint you, but you might not see the hb...I would lean towards not seeing it. But that doesn't mean anything is wrong either. The beans are just so small that early on...they are hard to see.

I am sending you SO many wonderful, sticky baby vibes. If you don't see the hb beg and plead to come back in a week for another...you'd be a lot more likely to see it then.

I am not too worried about my progesterone levels since they have had me on progesterone suppositories since I found out I am pregnant. I was just really hoping that maybe we would be able to see something even though I know it's very unlikely. Thanks for sharing with me your dates and what you were able to see. I am just so anxious about this.

I have a 6 wk sono on Tuesay. I am the same as you. It has been at the first sono about 6 wks that we knew things were going good with both my m/c's. I really want to see a heartbeat.

I'm a little late replying to this, but I'm wondering how it went yesterday.
