Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

The human embryo heart begins beating approximately 21 days after conception, or five weeks after the last normal menstrual period (LMP), which is the date normally used to date pregnancy .
In fact the heart rate is supposed to be the maximum around 9 weeks.

I think you should get to your obstretician immediately. there is a possibility that the fetal position was such that the sonographer could not detect the heart beat.

but it certainly needs to be confirmed by cardiotocography.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.
I find this answer helpful
