We had our first scan at 6w after a SCH and both little bubbas had good strong heartbeats with the external scanner. In saying that though, we did know that there was a big chance that it was too early to see. I guess the question is if you did have a 6w scan, would it stress you out heaps if you didn't see a HB, even knowing that its quite likely to be too early but everything still be ok? If you think you can go into the scan thinking well, if we do see the HB that is a huge bonus and can breathe a little sigh of relief a bit earlier, but if not, we do know that it is still extremely early? If you get what I mean?
How much of a worrier and overanalyser are you? If I hadn't had my bleed, we were booked in for 6w3d because I was quite anxious and we knew we may not see anything. I was ok with that because the nurses had stressed that no HB at that stage is still perfectly ok. Lucky us though that we did.

Something to bear in mind with HCG is that from about 6 weeks, a scan is a better indicator of progress as once your levels reach about 6000 (I think, from memory), the rise does start to slow a bit. So you may not have the 48hr doubling time that you are after but everything still be fine (may be between 48 - 72hrs). Aarrgghh, this stage of things is just so worrying, isn't it?
