Ultrasound for Heartbeat Questions
Do your HcG levels need to be higher than a certain number in order to be able to see the heartbeat?
Also, i've read some things mentioning a fetal pole. the us yesterday just showed a little bean, looked like a sac, but nothing inside yet...i guess when the fetal pole is there you can actually see something inside the sac?

They usually don't go by your HCG #, they will go by how many weeks you are. Typically you can't see the heartbeat before 6 or 7 weeks.

Re: Ultrasound for Heartbeat Questions
If I recal, they're both around the same time? I've had different progressions with each pregnancy but this time around, I saw the heartbeat at 5 weeks and heard it at 5w5days. I don't believe HCG has do with it.

Re: Ultrasound for Heartbeat Questions
I agree with the girls. HcG levels do not have anything to do with fetal pole or HB.
With my first pregnancy I saw a fetal pole at 5w--HB at 6w
With my 2nd there was a FP and HB at 6w.

You won't see a sac until hcg is at least 2,000
I saw the hb at 6w3d and saw the sac at 5w4d
