When do you get your first sono?
I have my first dr's appt. tomorrow since getting the BFP last week. I have been going crazy, not able to wait for this appointment. Do I get the sono then and there?

Re: When do you get your first sono?
it entirely depends on your OB and the way they do things..
if you are UNDER 6 weeks, you may not get one, but some places will still do it...
good luck!!!!

Re: When do you get your first sono?
I agree with Jess, it depends on your OB. Mine didn't do a sono until 11 weeks (3rd appointment), but my SIL already had one at 6 weeks and will have another at 7/8 weeks to see if everything is progressing correctly.

Re: When do you get your first sono?
I just had my first this past Friday and I was exactly 6 weeks. I had seen my dr the week before, but they didn't want to do a sono until I went for bloodwork because as he said, without the hcg levels, they don't know what they really should be looking for, and don't want to scare or upset anyone.
Good luck at your appt!!!!!!!! and Congrats

I was exactly the same way!! I got my sono at 7 weeks so we'd be sure to see a heartbeat.

i wanted to say something about that too....if you CAN wait - i personally would. It's a piece of advice my SIL gave me and because I was with an RE - i had no choice, they did sonos' at every visit...but when that day came when there was no heartbeat and they said that there SHOULD'VE been one....i wanted to die. The 3 days of torture i went through after that were NOT okay.....
if you can wait for one - i'd recommend it....until 7 or at least 8 weeks. i know it seems like a lot - but it can be pure HE&L if you don't see the right thing for any number of reasons (late implanter, O date was off, etc.).

Re: When do you get your first sono?
Thank you ladies!!!!!
I have no idea what I'm doing - I just can't wait to to go the dr. and hear that everything is OK.
And then ... I have to switch doctors because while I like my dr, I don't like the hospital he's affiliated with.....
Argh. I wanted to do that before I got PG, but thats another story!

Re: When do you get your first sono?
I had spotting so they gave me an early sono at 5.5 weeks. otherwise, I would have had to wait until 8 weeks.

Re: When do you get your first sono?
Depends on your OB. My first appnt I was 5 weeks and we did one, but my Dr also does an in office sonogram at every visit.
ETA- I agree with Jess above that if you can wait till 7 weeks, DO it. Because waiting to see the HB is really agony.
