This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Amy K White) Ingrid, I do a lot of ultrasound in my practice, and we usually do an ultrasound at 16-18 days after breeding. Sometimes you can see them earlier, but they can be hard to distinguish from cysts. We recommend a follow up U/S at about 28 days. At that time you can see a heart beat and confirm a viable embryo. -Steve Steve and Amy White
