I called my dr. to see when my first ultrasound would be and they said not until 20 weeks! WTF?!? With my first, we were at a specialist and had a lot of U/S, so I am so bummed about this news!
I know it sucks for those who have HAD to have an U/S for scary reasons, and I dont wish that on anyone... But I would still like to see the baby before 20 weeks along. I know my insurance covers it so that isnt an issue. I havent even seen the dr. yet, and wont until 10 weeks and they never even have confirmed the pregnancy with a blood test or urine test... which i thought was weird.
You could tell them you are not sure about the date of your last menstrual period and they would have to do an early u/s for dating purposes.

Baby N conceived after 1 miscarriage and more than 2 years of TTC. Diagnosis was low sperm count. We found success after 3 months of anastrozole to increase DH's testosterone and one IUI.

This is my doctor's standard policy as well. I did have one at my first appointment, though, because they were not sure on my dates. They refer out to another practice for an optional NT scan, which includes u/s, at 11-13 weeks if you want it.
