Hi,

Normally fetal heart beat should be detected on Ultrasound by 8 weeks of pregnancy

.As such inaccurate dating with last menstrual period is one of the reason for non detection of the fetal heart beat .

Generally from 6 ½ -7 weeks is the time when a heartbeat can be detected

As such you should consult your gynaecologist for further evaluation .
