Ok I thought anatomy scans would be AFTER 18 weeks, but our nurse just send us an email scheduling ours for 15.5 weeks?!?!

Anybody have experience with this???


10 medicated IUI's (3 with injectables). 
IUI #1 (medicated) Jan. 2013-BFP!!!!- Beta's didn't double, MTX shot for possible ectopic.
8 IUI's between April 13-April 14 = BFN 
IUI #10 and final before IVF, injectables May 2014- BFP!!!!  TWINS!!!!

7 week ultrasound showed 2 wonderful heartbeats!
8 weeks to the ER with vaginal bleeding while on vacations!  Diagnosed SubChorionic Hemorrhage.  Babies are both great.
9 week ultrasound showed both babies are still great.

    Sounds early for an a/s. Some people have a growth u/s around 16w. Maybe that's it?

    15 sounds early. My singleton was right around 20 weeks, and these babies were at 21 weeks. At 15 weeks I'd think there'd be some things that aren't quite developed enough or large enough to have a good look at.

    Maybe when she said anatomy scan she meant looking/measuring individual parts. My growth scans have consisted of just measuring hb and crown to rump length up until 14 weeks. Beginning at 17w they started measuring circumference, length, girth of the different body parts. Just throwing a guess out here since it seems early to me as well.

    This is why I didn't worry about it being so early for me. At our growth scans (every 3-4 weeks) they basically do an anatomy scan each time (hearts/cords/brains/kidneys/bone measurements/ fluid etc.). I knew I they would be getting looked at thoroughly each month.

    Have done them at 16, 20, 24weeks. Next one scheduled for 28w. I think if you see a MFM vs OB they call it different things.
