you should do if your dates are correct, but I was mad certain of mine and they still put me back a week so if I was you would add on another week and go at 8-9 weeks.
Best of luck x

Same as Dora, I was 100% sure of my dates and the scan put me back a week so bare that in mind.

same again, if your sure of your dates than it will be there. I had an early scan at 8w 5d andwe could see the little bean moving away with heart flickering inside.
And our ob has the crappiest ultrasound monitor I have ever come accross and we could still see.

As others have said you should see it but you don't always so please remember that and try not to worry. I went for early scan and they could just barely make out flicker of heart but they weren't sure so I had to come back a week later and then it was a bit better and then at 10 weeks again..
Just don't be too disappointed if you can't as it doesn't necessarily mean anything..

I had an early scan yesterday because of a m/c last aug. I was 7w 6d doc saw strong heartbeat, to be honest I couldn't see it myself but she turned up the sound and I could certainly hear it. Soooo wonderful and reassuring, I burst into tears with relief.
I'm positive of my date because I was charting and the doc able to confirm it.
best of luck.
