It depends on the type of machine used to hear the heartbeat. My OB's machine couldn't hear one, but the Dopplar machine at the imaging place could. If you are worried, ask your doctor to do a transvaginal ultrasound. They usually provide more information early in pregnancy.

∙ 12y agoIf you have an ultrasound at 9 weeks and there is no heartbeat detected, that means your pregnancy isn't viable and you're having a miscarriage. But if you're talking about not being able to hear the heartbeat via Doppler at 9 weeks I wouldn't worry too much as sometimes dopplers can't pick up a heartbeat until around 14 weeks.

∙ 8y agoThe heartbeat starts around week 6-8 so if there is none at 9 weeks it may mean the embryo is dead. In that cause, you have a few choices for treatment, as long as you check in with your health care provider regularly. You can "wait and see" what happens next, you can take mifepristone to expel the pregnancy, or you can have a suction procedure to remove the pregnancy. As long as you have no signs of infection, there is no rush to take action to remove the pregnancy. Talk with your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

You got an abdominal ultrasound at 9 weeks but they couldn't find a heartbeat could it be because they didn't do a vaginal ultrasound?
You really need to talk to your doctor or the person who did the ultrasound about this.
Your ultrasound showed that you are 6 weeks pregnant but you should be 9 could that mean you are having a miscarriage?
An ultrasound at 6 weeks should show a fetal heartbeat, if there was a fetal heartbeat you're not miscarrying.. It's probable you estimated your due date wrong.
What does it mean if you are unsure but think your 9 weeks pregnant have started spotting blood and ultrasound measures 7 weeks with no heartbeat but the sac was present?
Then you are going to have a miscairrage.
Why I can't hear my baby heartbeat at 11 weeks pregnant with an ultrasound?
No, I didn't hear my babies heartbeat until I was about 14 weeks. It also depends on how much belly fat you have. I had some belly fat so maybe that's why it was a little longer for me. Don't worry everything will be fine.
When does the heart beat show on a ultrasound?
With my first child I was 7w3d when I had my first u/s. My second child I was 9 weeks. This coming Monday I will have an u/s @ 6w6d and hope to see a heartbeat. I heard from my Ob/Gyn that at 6w1d there should be a heartbeat noticeable on trans. vag. u/s.
Can a doctor hear a baby's pulse but not it's heartbeat?
The doctor should be able to hear the babies heart beat with a Doppler after about 16 weeks. If you are more than 16 to 20 weeks pregnant and the doctor can not hear a heart beat then you need an ultrasound to make sure the baby is ok.

Is it possible to hear a babys heart beat loud and strong at nine weeks pregnant?
With a doctors "listener" it can be heard. I wouldn't say loud and clear, but it's possible it could be loud and clear, depends on the woman and the baby.AnswerYes I heard my babys heartbeat at 9 weeks pregnant with a at home fetal monitor. AnswerA vaginal ultra sound can detect a heartbeat as soon as 6 weeks gestation but more commonly at 7-8 weeks. The fetal Doppler used on the outside of your belly should pick up a heartbeat at 12 weeks clearly. AnswerA fetal heartbeat can be heard as early as 8-10 weeks pregnant using a good fetal Doppler such as one rented from Tummy Tickles or a company like that. AnswerYes it can be heard. I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks and heart it perfectly and then again at 9 weeks on a Doppler in the doctors office.

How can you get rid of a 1 weeks pregnancy?
Up to 9 weeks it's Mifepristone followed by Misoprostol or a suction abortion. You get them from the doctor only. They prefer waiting until they see the pregnancy on the ultrasound which means a heartbeat at 5-6 weeks.
