Doppler machine Thanks for everything Sydney Answer SThompson 2 427 7/3/07 4:50 pm   Second Ultrasound Question Dear Victoria Thank you for taking the time to response to all my previous posts I m currently 9 weeks and 4 days pregnant we had an ultra sound at 7 weeks which showed a healthy heartbeat of 170 and another transvaginal ultra sound just last Friday at 9 weeks again good size with heartbeat of 170 I have had really bad nausea between 6 9 weeks but have noticed it getting better these past few days is that normal or should I be worried I had a previous miscarriage at 8 weeks back in February and am worried something will go bad again Is it true that after you actually Hear a heartbeat on a Doppler your chances of miscarrying are less then those seen on a transvaginal ultrasound Does seeing a heathly heartbeat at 7 and 9 weeks look positive Thank you Gemma Answer Gemma 1 415 7/3/07 1:34 pm   Ovulation and ewcm Question Hi I have been using ovulation predictor kits
