Be optimistic! I had an ultrasound at 5 wk 5 days and didn't see a heartbeat, but now I am 14 weeks and everything is wonderful. They say that most people see it at about 6 or 6 1/2 weeks. I didn't have another ultrasound until I was 9 1/2 weeks, but it was strong when I saw it. Good luck on your pregnancy!
