Anyone not get an u/s at their first appt?

I wrote down what would happen at our first appointment in a little yellow notebook, that I'm going to say thanks to pregnancy brain I can't seem to find haha.  I could have sworn she said I would get an ultrasound, but with all these posts coming up it seems like 50/50 on whether you get an ultrasound at your first.  I've debated calling them just to ask again haha, because I don't want to be getting my hopes up and then not have one done.  Just curious if maybe I'm crazy for thinking they told me I would get one. :)

    I didn't. My doc just took some blood, made me pee in a cup, and gave me a pap. I was only 5 weeks or so, so he said there wouldn't be much to see and I'd be happier if I waited. I went back in at 10 weeks and I was glad I waited! Got to see my lil grape moving around like crazy with it's little arms and legs :). How far along are you?

    Thanks :)  My first appt is the 20th so I'll almost be 7 weeks as long as my calculations are correct, which I'm pretty sure they are.  So we will see :)

    I think it depends on what kind of doc you see first. Some people are seeing a reproductive endocrinologist because they are having trouble TTC, and so when they get that first positive test at home, they go in for betas and then an U/S or two at five or six weeks to make sure things are progressing before moving on to their regular OB-GYN.

    However, if you got pregnant on your own or without trouble, you will just see your regular OB-GYN around 8 weeks, and they don't usually give U/S until the triple screen at the beginning of the second tri, unless you have some signs of problems. Normally, all OB visits entail are pee in a cup and a quick internal, and then later, checks for fundal height or checking for a HB with the Doppler. They are always quick and short if things are normal.

    I did, but my first appointment was not until 9 weeks.  Others on my bmb who went in earlier than 8 weeks just gave blood and had a pap and then had their first us at their second appt.  My doc will not see you until after you are 8 weeks unless you are at high risk or have had a miscarriage in the past.

    My first appt is the 29th and I'll be almost 8 weeks. My doctor is doing an u/s at this visit, but I've had recurrent miscarriages so he wants to make sure he can find a hb.

    I didn't with my first pregancy but did with my second.  My cycle had been weird the second time though and they did one to see how far along I was.  I'm thinking that they won't do one this time since my cycles have been pretty consistent lately.

    Call and ask if you don't want to be disappointed!  I don't get one until 20 weeks. 

    My two pregnant friends got an u/s at ~8w.  My first appointment wasn't until 12.5 weeks, so after waiting SO LONG, I was bummed when they said 20 weeks.  But when I heard the heartbeat for the first time................I didn't care anymore.  To hear the heartbeat was amazing!  I think I just wanted to know something in there is alive.  Now I can wait 2 more months for my u/s.  GOOD LUCK!

    I didnt have one they just ran all the labs. I had my second yesterday and it felt like a waste...they did a whole lot of nothing. But thankfully I just got a phone call and they will be doing one on 4/13 which by than will be my 3rd appointment and a day till im into my second trimester. Weird. But my guess is that all doctors are different as to when they do them.
