Scooby, my scan was at 6w3d and the heartbeat showed quite clearly. From what I can gather, if it's an internal scan, a heartbeat should be visible, but a regular abdominal scan may not pick it up until after 7 weeks. Good luck!
We got a HB at 6w 5d so you might just get lucky. If you don't, please try not to stress might just be a little early. Also try not to worry about the progesterone level. Mine has never been tested throughout this pregnancy as my docs didn't believe it to be necessary.
Scooby, I realised I had no idea what normal progesterone levels in pregnancy are... and google has just informed me that yours are MASSIVE! Are you still using pessaries/crinone? You've got extremely good HCG levels too, so chances are this pregnancy is going fine. And now I WISH my clinic had let me know what my numbers were! They do say that high progesterone levels could indicate twins (how many embryos did you have transferred?), but with being an IVF pregnancy, chances are it's just from the luteal phase support they give you.
Scooby - honey I'm not sure if i have congratulated you - so darn happy for you sweet!!!
I had a scan done at 6 weeks and 3 days also and it didn't show much of a hb to my untrained eye. i didn't have a chance to ask the question however as the doc conducting the u/s told me straight away that it looked like a very healthy baby with a healthy hb.
