How long into pregnancy can the fetal heartbeat be detected?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

For women with a regular menstrual cycle, fetal heartbeat can be heard around 8 weeks of pregnancy. If menstrual periods are usually delayed, ovulation may be postponed, leading to a discrepancy between gestational age and gestational sac. It is best to check blood levels of HCG and progesterone. If these values are normal, there is no problem. If progesterone is low, taking progesterone injections will be sufficient. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital and have a follow-up checkup in a week.
