Color Doppler studies have no value before 11 weeks of pregnancy. You may use it to see the color signal of the heart beating but that is about it. Pulsed doppler will make heart beats audible and its frequency calculated. the best prognosis element at this early age is heart beats faster than 80 beats per minute. in your case it seems everything is fine because sonograms match the right gestational age.
