At 5 weeks it starts beating. During a sonogran at 8 weeks you can hear it, although most doctors use an ultrasound that early and that only shows that the heart is beating, but not the sound. With a hand held doppler the doctor can pick it up at between 10-12 weeks.

I heard my daughter's heartbeat at 7 weeks 5 days during a sonogram, and with the doppler my doctor and I heard it at 11 weeks.

With my current pregnancy I had an ultrasound, not sonogram so I saw it beating at 6 weeks.

Depending on your body type, and your particular circumstances, you can hear the baby's heart beat around 10 weeks or so. You should be able to actually see the baby's heartbeat now, in your 6th week. The heart is "primitive" right now - it won't start developing chambers and be a "normal" human heart until later, but you'll be able to at least see it on an ultrasound screen now.
Hurry, and make your appointment with your doctor!!
Good luck, and congrats!

I believe it's three weeks after conception that the heart begins to beat. You won't be able to hear it until around the 10th week. However, it can be seen in an ultrasound around week six.

Week 6 it is present, and a transvaginal ultrasound should reveal it. However, you would not be able to hear it at home. You need the US.
