I have my first appointment tomorrow - by LMP - I'll be 7 weeks and 5 days (although I think I'm about a week behind using O date). Anyways, what type of u/s should I expect? Transvaginal? Or the one with a transducer on the surface of the skin? Do you get to hear a heart beat this early?

Transvag and you should be able to hear the heartbeat, and see the blip on the screen. If you are truly a week behind, as you think that you might be, it could be difficult to see/hear. I have heard you can register the hb as early as 6 weeks, but doctors like to shoot for 8 for the best chance.
I had my first appointment at 6w6d with DD. It was a transvaginal ultrasound and we saw/heard the heartbeat. I think it depends on if the machine is capable of doing sound. Good luck!
Did they tell you to expect an u/s? Hopefully, but don't be disappointed if they don't do one. It isn't standard practice in all offices. Hope you get to see your little berry!!
