Baby’s heartbeat

Hi I went for a scan at 5 weeks 6 days and doc said it’s too small to hear a heartbeat, scheduled to go back at 8 weeks 1 day..(am currently 6 weeks 2 days). However, am experiencing symptoms such as headaches and stomach cramps (moderate) and no bleeding... Usually when can a heartbeat be detected? And at how many weeks if there is no heartbeat, it is confirmed a loss..?

I went for a scan at 7 weeks. End up did 1 ultrasound and 1 detail ultrasound. And reports shows that there is a 4 weeks plus old sac. Yet to develop. So doc give me folic and ask me come back in 3 weeks. So after 3 weeks I went for a scan at my tummy. Can’t see anything. So doc said let’s try the virginal scan. My tears burst out when I see the shape of my baby. 1 full figure. So just relax. Don’t stress. But the time you start to vomit (like me) you will know :)

I started vomiting from week 8 - 12 and it was terrible. Just remember to eat something light and drink lots of water.
