How early did you have your first u/s?

Rolos_girl

I kind of want it early, and my doc is willing to so it, but I am worried about it being too early, no hb, and having it be normal.......and I am freaking out for a week for nothing.

She recommended 7 weeks, but said she would do one at 6......but warned about the above scenario......

just curious about all of your experiences.....

Thanks.

I had one at 4 weeks for bleeding, couldn't see anything, then 5 weeks, still nothing but the sac, no hb, then at 8 weeks, saw hb.

6 weeks we only seen the sac (barely) then we went back a week later and had a heartbeat!

I had one during my 7th week and we got to see the hearbeat.  I know it's HARD but I would suggest waiting so you can actually see the HB for sure.  I think if you waited until 7 weeks you should see it.  GL!

See my siggy for when I had the early ultrasounds during my pregnancies.  I know that it's hard to wait, but I do recommend waiting until at least 7 weeks.  GL!

My doctor is waiting until 7 weeks.  We go in next Thursday.  I would say wait until 7 weeks.

The earliest my RE would do one is 6 wks 4 days and only if you are very, very sure when you ovulated and if your betas are high enough.   Otherwise, she waits until at least 7 wks if not 7.5 weeks. 

She will not do one at 6 wks on the nose for the 'you might not see the hb reason'. She feels it is just not worth the stress. I agree with her.

6w1d...we saw the h/b.  (see bio)

With my son I had one at 5wks1day (based on O).  All we saw was a sac, which is normal.  At 5wks5days, we saw a baby measuring 6wks with no h/b (sac was measuring small also (4wks 4days)).  We were given a 50% chance.  At the f/u u/s at 7wks we saw baby and h/b!

With this little girl, we had an u/s at 5wks5days (based on O).  She measured 5wks6days and had a h/b ~120bpm.  Pretty early for a good h/r, but I was thrilled. 

The only reason I had those early u/s during the 5th week with my pregnancy is because I had spotting/bleeding early on.  Otherwise, I would wait until around 7 weeks, just to be sure of what you are seeing.  The week in limbo with my DS was very long and scary.

I had my first at 5w1d just to rule out another eptopic, we saw a sac with a tiny tiny yolk sac in it, you could barely see it. Then again at 6w1d and saw a baby with a hb!

GL!

My re wanted to wait until 7 wks so we'd be able to see everything needed. Those 2 wks seemed to just drag on........but it was well worth the wait to see a little bean w/ a flickering hb!

I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks due to bleeding and saw a heartbeat.
