About 3.5 weeks after a day 3 transfer should suffice.

They usually show up close to 6 weeks gestation.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

Hey--just so that you don't worry, sometimes it is a little later before the HB is detected and all can be well. I went at 5w6d and saw one sac and yolk measuring on time. Then at 6w5d we saw 2 sacs and 2 heartbeats! Best of luck to you!!!! And, congratulations!!

Skatie - that is really really early - are you counting the 2 weeks *before* the ER that officially count as your pregnancy? Since doctors start counting pregnancy from LMP (last menstrual period), you have to add 2 weeks to you ER date to get your LMP (for example, my ER was Feb 15... so my LMP was "Feb 1" and I'm 11w1d pregnant)

We saw 2 gestational sacs at 5w3d - and 2 heartbeats at 6w2d. Good luck!

this website can help you figure out your EDD based on your IVF --- http://ivf.ca/duedate.php

If your ER was 3.23.11 - your EDD is December 13, 2011 and you should be 6 weeks pregnant today!

I have always heard between 6 and 7 weeks. I am not sure what you mean by 3 weeks??? 3 weeks after transfer or after last period?
After 7 attempts (2 negatives/3 miscarriages), we have TWO miracle boys!! If you would like to hear our story, please visit http://www.ivfsuccessstories.info. Never give up, it can happen for you!!

Thank you so much for the site. According to it I'm 6 weeks 0 days. I got 3 1/2 weeks based on the date of transfer. But, I still saw the heart beat today. It changes my due date from Dec 17 to Dec 14.
