Hi,

The cardiac activity on USG is heard from the 6 th week moving forwards. There is supposedly no cardiac activity during the 5th week. Instead of assuming, I think you should ask your doctor why they have started and the reason behind it.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jinela Desouza, Neonatologist
