Regular doppler can be heard as soon as 10-12 weeks.

The heartbeat can be heard as early as 8 weeks, but it isnt uncommon for the heartbeat not to be heard until much later.Many doctors do not want to see patients until the 10-12 week mark because the risk of miscarriage has dropped dramatically.Most women hear the heartbeat on their first appt.

Ok... Just wondering...

Well I am currently 10 days past my longest cycle (ever) I have never gone this long with out af since right after I stopped my bc.

I am going to test this sunday and hopefuly it will show something.

If not I am supposed to call the nurse back and come in for blood test.

I am getting nervous now... Alot of thoughts are running thru my mind. Fears, joy, crying at thoughts (that is annoying too). I am hoping I am so that I can tell my parents when my husband and I go to visit them in november.... :)

Your prayers are much appreciated. Thank you all for your support and everything. I don;t feel like I am going crazy. My husband thinks I am paranoid.... Hehe, but the longer I am going without a cycle he seems to be the one becoming worried and I am calmer...
