Question
I'm a bit worried because my last menstrual period was on April 27, 2017, and when I took a home pregnancy test on June 4, it came out positive. I got a blood test on Tuesday with an hCG level of 12579.68. Then, I went for an ultrasound on June 6th. They saw a sac with a fetus, but there was no heartbeat. I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant, and its been two days since that ultrasound. Is it okay for me to go for another ultrasound today to check for a heartbeat?

It is recommended to wait at least one week after the first ultrasound to check for the heartbeat. You can go for another ultrasound around 7 weeks of pregnancy to have a better chance of detecting the fetal heartbeat.
