It can be identified as such at 5.5 weeks. It is sustainable and verifiable at 6.5 weeks.
Explanation:
Between 5 ½ to 6 ½ weeks, a fetal pole or even a fetal heartbeat may be detected by vaginal ultrasound.
Generally, from 6 ½ -7 weeks is the time when a heartbeat can be detected and viability can be assessed.
