good evening lovlies! something is not adding up for me. I have been getting positive pregnancy tests since the end of november, had an ultrasound December 18th the tech doing my visit said she had thought I was about 4 weeks..well fast forward to today I had an appointment with my obgyn and on his doppler machine said he couldn't hear a heart beat (neither could i) but he also said I was early. just early. I don't go back to see my ob until February, it just doesn't make much sense to me and I'm still agitated because I haven't been given an estimated due date or anything and quite frankly I'm upset.
and depending on where your placenta is the Doppler could make hearing the heartbeat even harder
I wouldn't be too worried if you haven't heard a heartbeat at 8 weeks. It's still early for a Doppler. They usually can't detect it until 10 to 12 weeks.
I'd wait until you have an ultrasound to determine how far along you really are.
my doppler didnt pick up till 12 weeks dont panic dopplers dont pick up right away like a ultrasound will
