The rate of hCG will double in every couple of days. However, you have to wait until 14 days for home pregnancy tests to show correct results. Your doctor can detect pregnancy 8-10 days after fertilization by conducting an hCG test, and if the level is above 5, it usually means you're pregnant. It is produced after the implantation of fertilized egg in the uterus. When you conduct a pregnancy test at home, the kits look for the presence of this hCG hormone in your urine. Your body produces hCG only when you're pregnant. He/she is likely to ask for a repeat ultrasound within the next week to rule out possible errors. After noticing no heartbeat at 6 weeks and if you are worried a lot about the condition, your doctor will ask for a lab test to know your human Chorionic Ganadotropin (hCG) levels. However, sometimes, no heartbeat at 6 weeks could also be due to a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or equipment errors. If you want to detect the heartbeat with a Doppler exam, it will be around 10 week as early, and usually you can heart obvious fetal heartbeat at 12 weeks. If you are six weeks pregnant and your doctor couldn't see or hear a heartbeat on ultrasound, it could be normal, since we have known the fetal heartbeat usualy can be heard around 8 weeks with an ultrasound exam. But, if there is no heartbeat at 6 weeks, it can be normal since usually, the heartbeat of baby will be detectable at 8 weeks. A fetal heartbeat will be detectable usually as early as 6 weeks. One simple way to check the health of a fetus is through vaginal ultrasound that detects a fetal heartbeat. It is important to know that the early phase of your baby's development will ensure healthy pregnancy and delivery. The developmental phase of a baby starts the moment sperm fertilizes the egg.
