How far along were you when you first heard a strong heartbeat? My friend can't get positives on hpt and doesn't have…

9 weeks

You need to be at least 6 or 7 weeks along and those heart rate things aren't accurate

@ashleydunn she's about 8 weeks we think. So it's about normal.

6w2d on ultrasound. 9w5d weeks on a Doppler

@beebaby

Also, dopplers are very sensitive. She could be picking up her own heartbeat, mixed with her organs. & a Doppler usually never gives a correct reading. So I wouldn't go by that at all unfortunately.

Is she sure she isn't picking up her own heartbeat? I had a really hard time finding my baby at home before 10 weeks. If she isn't getting positive tests why is she so sure she is pregnant? If she was as far as you guys think she would have had a positive by now...

@jae she can't ever get positives on pee tests. Even in the 2nd trimester with her first she couldn't get them. She had to do a blood test with her first.

@jae because she has the exact same symptoms that she NEVER has or has had until she got pregnant with her first. Some women just know when they are pregnant.

Oh ok. Good luck with that then.

@jae that came off really rude. Idk if it was supposed to be or not.

Oh I wasn't being rude. Sorry if you took it that way. I meant good luck with her finding out what's going on with her pregnancy. She can't go to like planned parenthood or something for a blood test?

@jae we don't have one near us. Get husband works during the day and they have one car. The closest one is at least an hour away.

Maybe have her hubby take a day off and take her to planned parenthood?

@autumnsmomma125 he just started a new job so no time off yet unfortunately

@ssdj4 oh man that sucks... I know it may not be the most comfortable but could she take a bus?

@autumnsmomma125 no buses where we live.

Damn... Yall dont have many options.. Uber? Lol

@autumnsmomma125 definitely don't have uber or lyft. We live in a super small town with no options.

Damn that's unfortunate. So what options does she have?

@jae go to the er? Idk.

Yeh but with no insurance that will be expensive and counterproductive it seems..

Man..idk then..

@jae Medicaid will cover it if she gets it

And if she doesn't get it she'll be left with a big bill

@jae she can make payments on the bill. I don't see why she wouldn't get it. They have one income and it isn't a lot.

Idk. I'm just worried for her and her baby if she really is pregnant. @jae

Yeh I understand. I hope she gets it all figured out either way.

@jae thanks.

I got a heart beat at 6 weeks at the drs office. It was 160
