Best time for an early scan?

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?

Hey hun,

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

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

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.

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 :)

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

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

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

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.

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

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! :hug:

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

Bring on Friday

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 :)

I had one at 6w1d and saw a lovely little blob with a heartbeat. I went again at 8 weeks exactly and already bubby was growing limbs - it was amazing to see the difference in 2 weeks!!

Good luck

omg ok so I moved it forward to Wednesday :redface: impatient much?

Stalking you Ahurani, hoping it all goes well.

Good luck for Wednesday. I've read that the earlier they do it, the more accurate it is for dating. But if you go too early you are less likely to see the HB and that can cause worry. Mine was done at 7w2d, which is standard for my IVF Dr. 6wks seems to be pretty standard for a dating scan.

Another stalker here sweets!

Good luck for wednesday :goodluck:

Ooooh ! How exciting! I'm 8wks tomorrow, and then having a dating scan on thursday.

Good luck!
