Red spotting last night so I went to the ER. Cervix was closed. Bleeding stopped. No cramps. HCG was over 22000, up from 14737 around 36 hours before. Ultrasound showed baby with heart rate of 100bpm. Er dr has me worried saying that's low. Spoke w my midwife today and she agreed. So I have to wait until Wednesday to get another ultrasound. In the meantime I'm really concerned why they say it's low when everything I am reading online, including studies and medical journals, says a normal fetal heart rate at 6w is 90-110. Based on lmp of 3/14 I was 5w 5d yest but based on ovulation I could've been two days ahead at 6w on the dot. Either way... Is 100 really low?
 
I don't think it's low if you're 5+5 or even 6w.
 
Mine was slightly high at 165 at 7 weeks, but they said it was still normal. I think everybody varies. Dont worry :)
