Try to relax and not stress yourself too much. I had a miscarriage in February, though, so I know it's easier said than done. You don't want to go in too early and not be able to hear the heartbeat- that'd cause lots of unnecessary worry. I know the first few weeks are tough to enjoy, but try to. In the end it all passes very quickly :) congratulations!

My RE's standard procedure was 7 weeks because most RE patients need/want that reassurance that things are progressing well, but if I hadn't gone to the RE my doc would not have done one until 20 weeks! If you are insistent you can usually get one earlier even if you have to pay for it. Since you had an MC before they might be willing to give you an earlier one for your peace of mind. Congrats! :)

I had my first scan at 7w4d. Healthy pregnancy and no issues, my doctor just wanted a dating ultrasound.

I was 6 weeks when I had one done but it was an emergency scan. I went to the hospital because I thought I was seriously ill. Otherwise I wouldn't have had my actual first scan with my OB until 8 weeks

It depends where you live. In the UK the official dating scan is 12wks.
