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.
