How long after pregnancy can the fetal heartbeat be detected?

Patient's question:

A 27-year-old woman, I have been married to my husband for six months, and we have been trying to conceive. These past few days, my period should have come, but it hasn't. I am questioning whether I might be pregnant. Please tell me how long after pregnancy can the fetal heartbeat be detected?

Doctor's answer:

Because after early pregnancy, a small number of people may experience early pregnancy symptoms again 6 weeks after the menstrual period. Early pregnancy can be detected with an ultrasound at 5 weeks, and early pregnancy tests can confirm pregnancy 7-9 days after conception. By 8 weeks, the fetal heartbeat can be heard. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity. Lastly, it is important to maintain a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood is very helpful for recovery from illness.
