I haven't had mine yet kinda jealous of all who have a girl at lunch announced she was pregnant today with ultrasound pictures...and she's due a month after!
I'll schedule mine at my next dr apt which is in two weeks so I assume I'm about 6 weeks away from my first one which will put me at 19/20 weeks
I've had complications, so I've already had four [I'm 11 weeks]. Before my SCH diagnosis, my first u/s was scheduled for 7 weeks, with my a/s at 18 weeks.
I had a dating u/s done when I was just under 9 weeks. I had no idea when my LMP was, so she wanted to see how far along I was.
I'm not doing the NT scan since insurance doesn't cover it. So I won't be having my next one until sometime in August. I have my next appt August 9th and she said we'd schedule for the a/s then.
But we might do an elective u/s prior to that since DH cannot wait to find out the sex of LO.
I had one at 7 weeks and I had my n/t on Wednesday. I'll have my a/s at 18 weeks

I've had two at my two OB appointments. I'll have another at my next appointment and then my AS. I probably won't have any after that unless there's a problem.

I had one at 7 1/2 weeks because physical exam felt like I was not as far along as lmp had me (8 1/2) and doppler wasn't picking up hb. Normally I wouldn't have had one until the NT scan at 12/13 weeks.
I'll have my first one during my Integrated Prenatal Screening on Monday at 12 wks 1 day. FX everything goes well, because it will be our first time even getting to hear the heartbeat!
After that, I only get one more between 18-22 wks for an anatomy scan.
My OB office does an U/S to confirm so I had that one at 8 weeks and then I chose to do the NT scan so I had that at 11 weeks. Next scan is at 20 weeks.
With my first I had 4: The NT scan twice (my dating was off, so the baby was too small to get the measurements they needed the first time so I had to come back the next week), the anatomy scan, and then my doctor ordered another u/s at 38 weeks since I was measuring ahead.
I've had 3 - dating at 9 weeks, NT at 11w6d and repeat NT at 13w5d. I'll have at least 3 more, including 2 fetal echocardiograms and the anatomy scan. We've had complications, though, so I'm considered high risk for now.
Honestly, I would give anything to only need 2 like last pregnancy...
I had a dating US around 7 weeks, and then the nurse couldn't find the heart beat at my 10 week appt so I got a quick freebie US then, and today I had my NT scan. I will have my Anatomy Scan around 19 or 20 weeks and then another US sometime after that to check growth I believe.
It was amazing to see the baby today. I have a two year old, so it hasn't been that long since I did this before but the technology has advanced a ton in such a short period of time, I loved seeing the baby so clear today.
Since I have a uterine defect and am high risk, I have had three. I will have another one in two weeks, and every four weeks there after. The only good thing about having a defect and being so high risk is getting to see the baby so much!
I had one at 7 weeks for dating, the NT ultrasound at 12, and we are having an elective ultrasound at 16 weeks to find out gender. Then our anatomy scan at 20ish weeks. Getting to see our little one lots is really nice! 20 wks will be our last one thoughunless the doctor says I need another.
I've had two so far. I'm 10w4d, and had one at 6w4d and one at 8w1d. First was to assess viability since we just lost twins 15 days before getting pregnant, and second was for a minor sch that caused a big big scare. Next one won't be until September for our 20 week ultrasound.
What is tricare? I'm assuming no since I have no idea what that is lol..
Typically military family insurance. I know they operate a bit differently than many other insurances.
My gf has it and she doesn't get appointments/scans nearly as much as i already have and she's almost 8 weeks ahead of me. But then again I was totally irregular so they did a confirmation scan at what turned out to be 7 weeks and I will have one again soon I believe. I don't need them, but they are covered so eh, why not?!
Had one at 6, 10, and 12 (for NT scan). Not sure if I'll have one tomorrow at my appt or not.
With DD, I had one at 7, 11, 12 (for NT), 15, 18, 20 (anatomy), and 34ish. I think I had another one in there too but can't remember when. The 15 and 18w ones were my choice (my OB will do them whenever I ask) but the rest are standard at the office.
I had one in OB/GYN triage at 6 weeks because I was having onesided pain and my midwife wanted to rule out an ectopic pregnancy and check for cysts. I had a 2nd scan at 8 weeks because my midwife thought it'd help my PGAL brain since I was pretty much miserable.
I had one at 10 weeks because of spotting and cramping. In the UK usually your first scan is the NT scan provided you have no complications and are not high risk. Even then the NT scan is optional so in some routine pregnancies it is not uncommon that your A/S is your first scan.
My OB wanted one at 7weeks because she handled my mc and thought it would put me at ease. Then another at 8 weeks with my RE to release me. Then I had one at almost 12 weeks for the genetic screening. Next one will be at 16 to 20 weeks for the AS.
My hubby and I have been together since 2008. Married 5 years in Dec. DX with PCOS and
annovulatory hypothalamus. TTC for baby #2 for 10 months BFP on May 29th 2015
I was seeing a RE to get pregant so I had one at 6 weeks and 8 weeks. then at 9 weeks 5 days with my OBGyn and then at 12 weeks for my NT SCAN. I have a partial anatomy scan coming up at 14 weeks 2 days coming up and an appointment with my OB at almost 15 weeks again don't know if US is included. Then a full anatomy scan at 20 weeks.
My OB does a dating scan at 8 weeks so I had that one. Then I got another US at 12 weeks becasue I had a large cyst on my ovary they wanted to followup on. I am having my third one today for my NT scan. I will have my anatomy scan at 20 weeks.
My OB office has a ultrasound tech in the office (that is all she does, and she has her own room set up) so they have the ability to give anyone an ultrasound for any reason with short notice which is nice. That way if I ever did have a problem I know I can get it to see her right away and with my son, he had a kidney abnormality on his anatomy scan so I had an ultrasound at every prenatal appointment after that to keep an eye on how he was doing. Just go in, get my scan, and then immediately see the doctor to talk about it.
I had a dating u/s at my first appointment that was at 8 weeks. Could have had another for the NT scan but I opted out. My next will be 20 weeks for my anatomy scan. This is already more than with my first pregnancy. I had my anatomy scan and that was IT!
I had one at 7 1/2 weeks because physical exam felt like I was not as far along as lmp had me (8 1/2) and doppler wasn't picking up hb. Normally I wouldn't have had one until the NT scan at 12/13 weeks.
7 1/2 weeks is really early to pick up a heartbeat via doppler. Like really early. With my youngest doppler didn't pick up a heartbeat at 11 weeks! My next appointment is on Tuesday and I am going to be very surprised if we are able to hear anything at all yet.
As for ultrasounds, I have one booked for Sept 12. My doctor doesn't have ultrasound machines in office (most here don't) and so we have to book really early in order to get a spot because there is only one lab that does ultrasounds for our entire city. I was offered a dating ultrasound, but because I am 100% sure of my dates, I declined.

Barring complications, I'll only have one around 20 weeks. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! I sometimes feel a little jealous of those who get several as standard (obviously I'm happy not to have complications, but some insurance plans cover several ultrasounds as a general rule).
Me too! Mine is at 19 weeks because of scheduling, but I still am totally jealous of people who got to see their babies at 8 weeks or so. My OB office just does the one as long as you aren't high risk, and I was starting to feel like the only person in the world who had this!
Re: ultrasound poll
I had one at 8 weeks after being punched in the stomach by a student (I teach middle school) and my NT scan.
If I didn't want a NT scan and didn't get punched I would only have one at 20 weeks. I don't think I could've waited thanks to PGaL brain.

First one at 7w, second one today 12w1d, next at 20 weeks. Hopefully everything goes well and I do not need any in between.
I will also do a 3d/4d elective scan around 28-30 weeks for fun pics.

Dating US at 8 weeks, which was unnecessary because I knew the conception date for sure. (But OB didn't ask, and I wanted to hear that heartbeat!)
I just had NS at 12 weeks, with pretty pictures, and I'll have the full anatomy scan at 20 weeks. I hope that'll be all!
