Hi everyone,

I’m currently about 8 weeks pregnant (IVF, Day-6 embryo transfer on March 24, EDD Dec 10).

At my scan around 7 weeks, baby’s heartbeat was 145 bpm and everything looked good.

Today (\\\~8w1d), baby has clearly grown and looks more developed on ultrasound, but the heartbeat measured 93 bpm. My doctor said everything looks good overall and didn’t seem concerned.

I’m just feeling a bit anxious because I’ve read that 93 can be on the lower side for this stage.

Has anyone experienced something similar where the heart rate dropped like this and then normalized later?

Is it possible this could be a one-time measurement issue (angle, timing, machine, etc.)?

Would really appreciate hearing any similar stories or insights 💛
