Hi,
I was reading somewhere that the hearbeat rate at 7weeks 1 day should be around 140-150.Is 127 a slow heart beat number or its completely fine.Little worried so need your advise.
120-160BPM is ideal!
Good luck!

Hello Dr Sher,
Hope all is well. I had one qq related to ultrasound. I am currently 7w 2 d pregnant after 5 day embryo transfer with grade AB. I had 3 ultrasounds every week. One on 22nd dec where they saw the position of the fetus and fetal pole. The next was on 29th where we saw the flicker and measurement and HCG on this day was 21035. The radiologist mentioned the week of 29th that they would hear the heartbeat next week which would be today(1/5). I just came back from the appointment and they had mentioned to me that everything looks fine (growth, flicker), BUT we could not hear the heartbeat yet but only the flicker was seen. Just a bit worried if this is normal and when can we expect to hear the heartbeat in later weeks? They have scheduled me for next week. Please let me know your inputs. Thank you in advance.
Give it another week and then you will know for sure!
G-d bless!

Hello Dr. Sher,
I had a FET on 12/17/20 with 2 day3 embryos. My first beta was on 12/28/20 and came back at 186. My second beta was on 12/30/20 and came back at 266. They told me to stay on my meds and have my levels tested again today, 1/4/21. The results just came back at 705. Could you give me your thoughts on these results and what your recommendation would be for the next step?
Thank you so much,
LJ
That is a slowish rise. Unfortunately, you will need to wait this out. Ultimately, it could require an US at 6-7 weeks to give a definitive answer.

Hi,
We have our first ultrasound at 7 weeks 1 day (after fet) and heart beat is 127.Please advise if this looks good. What is a good range for this time period.
That is a healthy rate!
Good luck!

Hi,
I had a beta test done 10 days post ivf transfer which my results were 343. Then 4 days later it went up to 1089. Two days later it went up to 1210 and five days later it down to 789. What do you think the fate of my pregnancy is?
I hope I am wrong, but these numbers are not very encouraging!
Sorry!
G-d bless!
