6 week 3 day scan - concerns about fetal heartbeat

[Everhopeful35]

I was hoping someone might be able to help. Yesterday, I went for a scan at 6 weeks 3 days and was told that the fetus measured 4.4mm and they could see cardiac activity/a heart flicker (which I also saw on the screen) but it was too small to measure the heartbeat. Is this normal? I’m so worried there’s something wrong, as I keep hearing stories where people see the heartbeat earlier and it’s much stronger. I’ve had IVF, so very sure of dates, and I’m on immune treatment due to repeat miscarriage history so the clinic have upped my dosage to two steroid tablets a day (which has also worried me, as they changed my medication yesterday after the scan). I’m due back for another scan tomorrow but going out of my mind with worry.

Hey, didn't want to read and run. Good sign a heartbeat was seen. I have no experience in scan measurements so your best bet would be to wait till tomorrow maybe as it's an early scan the measurements could be a bit off. Easier said than done for me to say don't worry, as I was the same yesterday waiting for my 12 weeks scan. You'll worry no matter what unfortunately especially with everything you've been through. Sending you positive vibes. X

I have no advice OP but hope everything is ok.

Sounds normal to me. I had a scan at 5+6 (CRL = 3.6mm) and they saw a heartbeat but didn’t tell me the rate.
