just made my first appointment, and it will not be until the end of the month i will already be 8 weeks. just curious when how far along everyone was at the first appt?
W/ DD I was 13 1/2 weeks and the past 2 times I was 7.5 weeks. Some doctors make patients wait until more like 12 wks. Just depends, especially if you've had previous complications (which would call for an earlier appt.).

My first appt. was today! I am 11 weeks 1 day according to my ovulation date from charting. The doctor goes by last period date so she says I am 12 weeks 4 days.
I had mine today and I was supposed to be at 8 weeks. I had an u/s and turns out I am just over 6. So, I get to go back in 4 weeks and do another u/s. I got to see the heartbeat today though - so it was cool!
6 and 1/2 weeks. Doctor prefers women be 7 or 8 weeks at least to make sure they can see something on the first u/s, but I didn't know my conception date and they went by hcg levels and could only predict I was somewhere between 6-8 weeks, so I knew there was a chance it would be too early to see anything on the u/s...luckily they saw a little bean with a heartbeat. Don't worry - 8 weeks is pretty normal...it's also good because there's a higher chance they will be able to hear the heartbeat at the second appointment. I was only 10 weeks at my second appointment, and they couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler, so they did another ultrasound...it was all very scary, but very normal that early.
I was 7w4d. My doctor told me she didn't want to do anything before then because there was a chance they wouldn't be able to catch the heartbeat on the ultrasound.
When everyone is providing how far along you were, are you counting from the first day of your last period or from the day you conceived? I assume the former since most ppl don't know exact conception date.
I will have my prenatal nurse appt where they just draw blood and etc at 9 weeks and then ill see the doctor at 12wks3days. Both of my doctors told me 12 weeks is typical in my area. I cant wait until then but i try not to think about it lol.

My Dr does the first at 8 weeks. But he is on vacation that week for me so I'll be seen at 9 weeks.

I'm confused.

Congratulations to everyone!
8 weeks. I'm low risk & didn't have any bleeding/cramping/etc issues that warranted betas or an earlier appt.
I was 12w3d when I had my first doctor's appointment. I met with the prenatal nurse when I was 8w.
i was 4.5-5 wks, but i thought i was already 6 wks.
then we went back i was 6wk 1 d, 9 wk 1d. i'll have my nt scan at 12 w, and then back to the dr at 13w1d.
first dr. appt: 6 weeks
first us: 7 weeks
2nd dr. appt: 10 weeks
