Supposedly 5 week but can hear HB on Doppler?

It definitely seems you're farther a long. Maybe you mistook IB for AF? My dr said you can't hear the heartbeat until 8 weeks. Your BFP is really strong too. I got mine at 9dpo and it was very faint.

You are AT LEAST 8-9 weeks it is not possible to get HB that early on a home doppler.

It is possible I have friends that have heard a HB On a Doppler at 6+4. Xxx

Sorry, but that is highly doubtful.

"....Misinformation: A fetal heart will begin to beat at around 5-6 weeks gestation. Although an ultrasound machine will be able to detect this by about 6 weeks, a fetal Doppler cannot detect a heartbeat until closer to 8-10 weeks. An ultrasound machine uses very powerful probes (5-10 Mhz) at a much higher output level (up to 720 Mw/cm2) whereas a fetal Doppler only uses a 2-3 Mhz probe at a much lower level of less than 20 mw/cm2. For this reason, fetal Dopplers are unable to detect a heartbeat before 8 weeks and usually not before 10-12 weeks. Dont be misled. If someone says she heard her baby's heartbeat at 6 weeks, she is probably referring to an ultrasound scan not a fetal monitor..."

SO either you have a very powerful doppler or you are farther along. I will however, eat my words when you have a dating scan! H&H 9 to ya!

It was confirmed by her midwife it was her baby's heartbeat. x

Right, but probably with a clinical doppler, not the one you can buy on ebay! See prev post for more info!

Well that's new and so very rare. Congrats to her then!

That's pretty cool that you AND your friends beat the medical sciences of pregnancy. People don't just go around hearing the HB at 5/6 weeks at home but not just you, your friend also! That's pretty amazing!

I heard ds2 at 7+1 (vid on YouTube to prove!) and one of the ladies on the molar pregancy thread I go on heard hers at 7+0. So it's deffo possible to pick it up late 6w early 7w, must depend on position. I know ds2 had an anterior placenta so maybe that made it easier early on?

My 3 pregnancies since ds2 to make it far enough to dopple were all picked in the more usual 8w+ range, hence why I assumed you must be about that to pick it up easy x

Anyway, when you getting scanned? I'm getting impatient for you now!!
