General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

I have gone through your question and I understand your concern.Usually the fetal heart beat is detected around 6 weeks on trans vaginal ultrasound and around 7 weeks in transabdominal ultrasound. It maybe possible that the fetus is still in the early phases of development.

If I was your treating physician I would recommend a repeat ultrasound scan next week to follow up the progress.

I hope this answers your query. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
