Can a vaginal ultrasound be wrong if the baby's heartbeat was heard at 7 weeks but a vaginal ultrasound at 11 weeks found no heartbeat?

In general, vaginal ultrasounds are said to be more accurate than abdominal ultrasounds. However, there are documented cases where they have been wrong, with tragic results. If a baby is no longer alive, there is a series of tests that can be done to determine this. Ultrasound is only one of them. Take care not to take hasty action. Usually the body will take care of things itself, but if you should become feverish you should seek help straight away.

How long does fetus with no heartbeat stay in womb at 10 weeks?
It depends. My baby died at 8 weeks and I found out at 12 weeks through an ultrasound, and it was removed by D&C
When I got my first ultrasound at 10 weeks yesterday we found twins but picked up neither heartbeat. The tech said it was a miscarriage. Is it possible 10 weeks was too soon I'm so scared?
My doctor said that they wasn't going to listen for a heartbeat when I was 11 weeks pregnant because It was too soon and they probably wouldn't hear anything anyway.
Doctor found yolk sac gestational sac and heartbeat on one twin but the other twin did not show a developed yolk sac or heartbeat Is that okay?
You did not indicate what week you were at in your question. I am at six weeks one day today, and went to my doctor today for an ultrasound. I had one twin with a fetal pole and a heartbeat that was about four times the size of the other one, which had the gestational and yolk sac but no detectable heartbeat. My doc said that there is a possibility that the smaller one will not be viable (that it may have arrested), but that a followup ultrasound in two weeks is necessary to see if there is growth. The ultrasound tech said that she has seen fraternal twins implant at different times, thus resulting in different size sacs and different rates of growth. Assuming you are not far along, I don't think the size itself or lack of a heartbeat is definitive of having lost one of them, and they will probably be able to tell at a repeat U/S. You can also look up the concept of a vanishing twin - it is apparently a common phenomenon. In most instances, it is not harmful to the remaining twin when it occurs early on.

Doctor cannot detect babies heartbeat at 8 weeks?
absolutly! 8 weeks pregnant is still very early to detect a heart beat. I believe when I was pregnant mine was checked at around 10-12 weeks...even then it was hard to find because the fetus is so small. My Dr. also didn't have an ultrasound done she was using a small device called a doppler.
