Hi! Just wondering when you ladies will be getting your first ultrasounds? I thought you usually didn't get one until 11-14 weeks, but my doctor says she always has patients come in at about 6 weeks for an ultrasound to be sure it isn't a tubal pregnancy. Anyone else getting this done?
My OB's practice is to come in for an early ultrasound two weeks after a positive test (probably usually about 6 weeks). I was out of the country for two weeks, so mine is today, at 7 weeks.
Last time I think I got one around 6ish weeks. I'm hoping for the same this time when I go next week....or that they'll schedule one for me soon after.
Well I THOUGHT I was getting one at 7-8 weeks, until my midwife didn't realize they didn't have the capability to do an vaginal ultrasound at the office they use. Now, I'm waiting until week 11. Bummer! But, I'm not bitter. lol

First u/s today at 5w3d but that's with my RE due to my infertility and loss history. Most OBs will wait until 8-12 weeks. Some have a dating u/s at 6-7 weeks. Some have no u/s until 20 weeks.

I got mine at 6 weeks and saw the heart beat....I will be going again this Wednesday again! Then I'll go to the OB and get one at 12 weeks...
After years of struggling with infertility issues (PCOS since I was 16) and 15 medicated cycles we finally got blessed with our son. We got lucky with our 7th IUI using stims...Now we are back on the roller coaster to try for another miracle..IVF cycle in May resulted in a chemical pregnancy. 2 snowbabies FET 7/16-transferred 2 blastocyst...Faint bfp 4dp5dt!
My doctor sees you at 8 weeks for first appointment and u/s, but I've heard of some practices not doing one until 12. Not sure why the wait but I'm glad mine does an u/s early!

From what I remember I have my 1st dr's appointment on Wednesday, He will schedule the ultrasound and I will probably get an appointment by 7-10 wks. At 12 wks there is another one (NST??? Can not for the life of me remember if that is right) and then one at 20 wks, and finally one around 35 wks to determine or confirm position of the baby.
My first ultrasound is September 7, I will be 9 weeks 4 days. She wants to be sure I will be far enough along to see baby. We aren't certain of when I O'd because I had a chemical pregnancy the previous cycle.
Mine will be 7w6d - this Thursday. I'm a little bummed because they only do abdominal ultrasound and I'm rather generous in the abdomen, so I went ahead and scheduled a TV ultrasound for Sept 5. I have yet to find my own OB/GYN, so the local pregnancy crisis center where I'm taking parenting classes said I could come get a TV done for free if the US on Thursday isn't conclusive or clear.
I'm hoping I can cancel that appointment after Thursday.
My first u/s will be tomorrow morning at about 6 1/2 weeks. I have another scheduled for 8-9 weeks. I think the standard is 8-12 weeks. Just think, you'll be getting to see your bean in a few weeks!! I'd take it!

With DD I only had one ultrasound at 16 weeks. Then I switched doctors and had one at 7 weeks and 20 weeks (and then every other week from 30 weeks on because of my high blood pressure) so I'm sure I will have those again this time as well.
