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..?

My first visit was ard week 6+ / 7 based on my calculations. Base on doctor is week 6. I could see the flickering which is the heart beat. Since then I keep feeling slight pain. Doctor says it’s ok. Cos no bleeding. Usually I sleep off to feel better. Recently week 13. The pain become pulling type. Which I thinking is the stretching of the uterus. So mayb you are same as me. More sensitive towards the growing of uterus. So can feel the pain. Only this week then I start feeling headaches.
