If at 6 weeks pregnant the heartbeat is not detected by the emergency room doctor...?

Does it mean that I am not pregnant?? Or does it mean that they just couldn't find a heartbeat yet? I am following up with a obgyn specialist but I just need some other answers. Thanks all!

    I am 17 weeks pregnant and they still have major troubles finding the heartbeat because the baby turns away from the doppler. I know it is really disheartening to even have to wonder, but I wouldn't lose hope yet if I were you.

    the middle does not start up beating until a undeniable element, and in case you haven't any longer reached that element it can not be seen. considering the fact which you weren't making plans this being pregnant and don't be attentive to right dates, they're dealing with measurements on my own that are precise in early being pregnant yet DO nonetheless have a window of errors. i might wait and spot what occurs. I had bleeding for the time of my first being pregnant and my toddler became born wholesome. They did no longer see the pulse on the 1st 2 ultrasounds with my third being pregnant and my toddler became born wholesome. I easily have a chum who's at present watching for a grandchild yet for over a week they have been telling her daughter that the being pregnant became no longer obtainable. issues look solid now. i might wait and spot what the subsequent ultrasound shows. there is not any longer something you're able to do yet pray. i'm going to wish as nicely. EDITED to function: The kit getting used could make a huge difference in early being pregnant as nicely- extra present day/extra useful kit will instruct extra useful than older old kit. have been your ultrasounds abdomen or vaginal? In early being pregnant, vaginal ultrasounds will provide a extra useful view of what is going on as nicely.

    Did you go to a Woman's Pregnancy Help Center (Not Planned Parenthood)?

    You should get an ultrasound, if you haven't gotten one.

    And the heartbeat should be detected around 21 days. There is a possibility you might not be pregnant.

    It's probably to early. I didn't see my baby's heart beat on the ultrasound until 8 weeks and heard it at 11 weeks.

    that is super early!! don't worry yourself sick, I'm sure with better equipment and an OB you guys will be able to find it at about 10 weeks.
