Hi
I have gone through your complaints and sonogram finding.usually heart beat wil be seen by 7 wks.as you are saying heatbeat is seen at 8 wks in sonogram it indicate viability is there.heart beat is not seen at 11 wks in doppler, dont be anxious.sometimes it wil be negative in doppler.if you are having complaints like spotting & abdominal pain go for sonogram as it is best time to assess nuchal translucency.
Thank you
