My first appt will be at 7 weeks, and my doc implied they may do an ultrasound. Part of me is (VERY) excited, and part of me is scared we won't be able to see anything that early...anyone here have a US at 7 weeks?
I've had u/s at 5 weeks, 6w5d, and 8w5d. At 5 we saw only the gestational sac. But at 6w5d, we saw a bean of a baby, including a heart beating away. At 8w5d we saw more baby, including little arms and feet.
I had an u/s at 6w2d, gestational and yolk sacks, but no hb. I had another u/s at 7w, and there was a hb. They think I may have O'ed late in my cycle (no temping = no idea), and they'll calculate the gestational age again this friday when I go in for my 9 week appt.

I went in at what I thought was 8w2d and got an ultrasound and based on the results, they dated me at 7w3d. I could see the sac/placenta beginning and the adorable little peanut with a heart beat. It looks like a little tiny flutter just going crazy. It was the best thing I've ever seen. I got to bring home the first "pictures" of my little peanut. I didn't think we would see anything either, but (usually) you can and it was thrilling.
Re: ultrasound at 7 weeks - anyone?
I'm having mine at 7 weeks, too.
From what I've read from other posters, you should be able to see a heart beat and what may resemble a gummy bear.
If your dates are correct...around 7 weeks you should be able to see a little hb.
GL!
My first u/s was 6w3d and we saw a teeny baby with a h/b of 136.
As long as that's actually how far along you are (I don't know if you're sure when you O'd) you should be able to see the h/b by then.
Good luck!

This. I had an u/s at 6w2d and this is exactly what I saw.
my first u/s was 6w2d and the hb was 164...it was amazing to see:)
