Normally more than heart beat cardiac activity can be sensed in ultrasound by 6-7 weeks.. to avoid tension better to look after 7 weeks. But first scan is done for fixing the date... Usually as soon as you are pregnant. There won't be any cardiac activity if it is done by 4_5 weeks.. its perfectly ok that way.
