Best time for an early scan?

[Ahurani]

Yesterday I went to the dr and he granted me an early scan

I was thinking of going at 7 weeks ?

What do you guys think?

[RhiChiChi]

Hey hun,

Yeah I would go 7 weeks - then you should be able to see/hear the hb

[feeb]

7 - 8 weeks, Closer to 8 weeks the better. As you wlll get a better look and heartbeat!!

[Kazmar]

Tbh, I found I really didn't know exactly how far along I was until I had a scan. Id say this scan is just so the Dr and yourself know how far along you are

My FS does them at 6 weeks and I think it's standard at my IVF clinic. I'm going tomorrow.

[Ahurani]

Thanks everyone I guess I'll go closer to 8 weeks, seems so far away :/

Lisa: good luck hun let me know how you go

I'm going for mine this Friday and i'll be 8 weeks 5 days - mind you my OB doesn't do them until after 7 weeks unless there is an underlying issue

[Shanti]

I had mine at 8wks when pg with DD..... and will do so again when the next one is conceived. ()

I went at 7 weeks 2 days. It was a pretty good time to go. It feels like ages, but it's worth it.

IVF clinic does them at roughly 7 weeks. By that time, allowing for some natural variation in growth rates, you should see a heartbeat.
Do you need a dating scan, or is it just to see?

i had mine when i thought i was exactly 6 weeks turns out i was 5w 5d heard a beautiful strong heartbeat of 105 BPM

[Ahurani]

wow! that makes me want to go next week lol Im trying to hold out for another week

[ButterflyForever]

I had one at 6 weeks exactly, saw the heart flickering away, but it was to small to measure accurately. Had my repeat one at 8 weeks, it was fab, saw bub and heartbeat was 169 bpm.
But about 7 weeks on is good.

[Ahurani]

Well I booked in for next Friday at 3.50. Ill be 7 weeks

[Bumperstump Cummerbund]

I was gonna say it'll be just like another 2WW for you, but you've booked the test, so now I'm excited for you!

[GlitterMum]

yay how exciting babe, We are sooooooooooo happy for you both

Bring on Friday

xx

Hi!

I'm having my dating scan done at what I'm pretty sure is 7wks+2. I guess they'll confirm that for me. (Monday is the big day!) Best of luck for your scan, hun.. let us know how it goes.

hi hon so happy you got a referral for an early scan!! I had a scan at the OB's office at 7 weeks and it was very reassuring but I really wanted to have one after the most common mc time which is 8 weeks. Having said that I used my GP referral to have another scan at 9 weeks which allowed me to rest a little easier and tie me over until the 12 week NT scan kwim. Good luck, can't wait to hear how it goes
