I am the OP of this thread...currently 26 weeks! There shouldn't be a difference between a fresh or a frozen (or if there is, it's minimal). It is checked with a transvagianal ultrasound - the one they use to check for follicle growth. I heard it at 6 weeks 6 days, which was my second appointment. First one, no HB - just the sak and fetal pole at 6 weeks.

We heard heartbeats at 7 weeks OP. Try not to worry.

Thanks, so hopefully by next week there will be something to see!

congrats. I am 10 weeks today from my FET. I personally still have not heard it. But, the heartbeat was measured by RE at 6 weeks 4 days.

I think we were also around 8-9 weeks before hearing it. But you should be able to see it next time....

Good luck!

Good luck on Tuesday OP! Sounds like you are right on track!

With my IVF, I went in at 6 weeks and didn't hear it I was devastated. Had to go back a week later, and there it was.

Thanks - that helps!!! Hoping Tuesday shows the heartbeat

thank you! Did you go in earlier, or was that your first appointment?

OP, this is all sounding very good. Congratulations! We didn't see a heartbeat until 8-9 weeks.

Thanks! Going back Tuesday...

I had my FET on May 7th and it was a BFP. I went in today for my first ultrasound. Doctor measured me at 6 weeks on the dot (although technically if you go by freeze date I am 5 weeks and 4 days). For those who did IVF/FET, when did you hear a heartbeat? We didn't have one today, but there was a sac, a fetal pole and the pregnancy is in the uterus. Doctor didn't seem to be concerned about the fact that there was no heartbeat, but I didn't ask.
