I should be about 8w 1d. I don't know about the u/s either. I would like to get one on the first visit to verify pregnancy and to make sure there is only 1. I'm also an "I don't believe it until I see it" kind of person.

I had my first appointment last week at 5 weeks and the doctor would have seen me a week earlier, but I was out of town. My first ultrasound will be at the next visit (I'll be 8-9 weeks then). There are several women on here who had their first u/s around 6 weeks.
I will have my first transvaginal u/s at week 5 (but I conceived via ivf so they check us very early to make sure it is not ectopic). Not sure when I will have a normal u/s. At week 7 I transfer back to my ob/gyn.

IVF #2 - Egg Retrieval 2/14, Embryo Transfer 2/17, BFP 2/28/13
I'll be 5w6d at my first appt. I'm not sure when I'll have my first U/S. I'm hoping it's then, but I know a lot of times the OB waits until later in the pregnancy.

The first time around, I was with a normal ob and I was scheduled for 10 weeks, and then I m/c. The 2nd time around, they let me come in as early as possible, and they said 7 weeks. I miscarried that time, too. Now I'm with an RE, and I had my first u/s at 5w5d, a 2nd one at 6w6d and if everything continues to look good, one at 8 weeks. Then they boot me back to my ob. I don't want to go back to my ob! My ob will do one around 10-12 weeks, like normal.

I got one at 6w2d because we were seeing an RE and then I will have another one this wednesday at 7w2d to check for growth. Then they will send us to an OB (I need a new one so my RE will recommend one) and I will probably do the NT scan at 12 weeks.

I am calling tomorrow morning to schedule one, so I'm not sure. I will say- the 1st pregnancy I got an appt right away and wasn't as far along as we had thought- 5w and the u/s showed just a tiny black dot so we came back at about 8 weeks and got another u/s to date it.
