Heartbeat at 6-7 weeks?

[Missnicolinda96]

Hi guys! I had an early scan today at 6.5-7 weeks. Measurements were consistent with this, although last bleed (early mc) suggests 8 weeks. The sonographer said normal can be anything from 100 to 180, mine was 128-130. Many sources say this is normal, but some say at 7 weeks it should be 160. Is it worrying that baby's size isn't consistent with last bleed? By a week to 9 days ish? HELP

Speak to your midwife xx

Do you know when you ovulated? A miscarriage can delay/mess with ovulation so could be that you ovulated later and therefore you are a week behind?

The heart rate at that gestation is of no significance at all. All they are looking for is its presence so I'm surprised the sonographer felt the need to tell you.

I don't know when I ovulated , no. It was an early mc/chemical with very low hcg so I'm having a hard time believing it could've delayed my ovulation by 7-10 days, although I suppose the severe stress and subsequent weight loss could've had an effect. It's bothering me tho because I've heard people say being a week behind preceded an mc. I'm hoping it is just late ovulation as my tests seem to suggest this, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Also worried because sac was measuring 7w 2d- 7w 4d whereas baby was measuring 6w 5d- is this concerning or not??
