By my calculation, you are only eight weeks pregnant. the only way to
check a heartbeat at this stage is with an ultrasound. If your doc
thinks you are going to miscarry, you should have an ultrasound to check
on the pregnancy. If you don't have access to one, certainly don't go
through with surgery without firm documentation that the pregnancy is
lost.
