Today I'm 6w1d and we were lucky enough to see the heartbeat. It wasn't able to be heard yet even with the wand, and it doesn't even look like a baby yet, but you can see the flicker that is the heartbeat. With previous pregnancies we didn't have an ultrasound early in the 6th week so we either didn't see the heartbeat yet in the 5th week or saw the gummy bear looking thing in the 7th week. It's just as cool this time. It was measuring at 6w even, the heartbeat was at 112 bpm and it's .33cm long. Amazing what technology can show you.
(Side note: A pair of pants I had been wearing is getting snug. As I said, it is .33cm long. How does that work?!)
Next week we have another ultrasound at 7w3d.
Oh, and I only have to take both the progesterone and estrogen two times a day. That adds the opportunity to sleep in! It was hard to have 3 doses just eight hours apart. This 12 hour thing is much better.
