No typically the heart does not start beating until 6 weeks, but the way pregnancy is measured at "2 weeks pregnant" you aren't even pregnant yet, since most women ovulate 2 weeks after the first day of their last menstrual cycle. That would be when you are two weeks pregnant when you are just ovulating. So if you mean can you hear the heartbeat two weeks after you find out your are pregnant then yes, you should because you would actually be somewhere between 5-7 weeks along.
My doctor told me after 7 weeks 2 days, if there is no heart beat then the pregnancy would not be viable.
I just went in for my ultra sound this morning. I am 8 weeks and 2 days and the heartbeat was 177 my doctor said that it was normal.
The earliest a doctor can get a baby's heartbeat on a Doppler inside the womb is 9 weeks... any earlier and it might not be able to be heard! Hope this helps... on the flip side you should take into account your size. If you are smaller it might happen sooner and if you are larger than it may happen a little later.

Not necessarily. Your doctor may not have the equipment that normally can detect the heartbeat in the early weeks. Also, some babies are actually younger than dates suggest , which can make the beat difficult to pick up. If you are very worried, you could request further tests such as measuring your hCG on two occasions or visit another doctor to see if they can detect it.
I had my first ultra sound at 6 weeks and they could clearly see a heart beat I am now 12 1/2 weeks. My last pregnancy I had a miscarrige and it was the same as yours I was 11 weeks but the baby messured 9 1/2 I had to have a dnc cause I hadn't MC'd on my own... Sorry..
2-3 weeks
It can beat 1 or 2 times a second
I hear they're delicious.
i went through the same thing about 2 months ago. i was bleeding very light and they had no heart beat but because i was only 5wks they said that is why they could find the heart beat. i went in a week later and found out i was mis carrying. although it might not be happening in your case it is possible! keep up with your doctor and good luck to you!
An elephant's heart averages 30 heartbeats per minute, or 1 beat every 2 seconds.
