With my 1st I was 7w4d but they scheduled my appt earlier because I wasn't sure about my lmp. This time I'll be closer to 9weeks because they usually want to do them Between 8 and 10 weeks here

I've gone for a dating ultrasound at 7 weeks 2 days for both my previous pregnancies and am booked for 7w2d for this one as well. I never asked to go the first 2 times, my GP just sent me. At the dating scan for my 2nd pregnancy we found out it was a blighted ovum. It was a horrible 2 weeks after that scan waiting to go back to see if there was a foetal pole and heartbeat, sadly there wasn't. This pregnancy I have a new GP and she wasn't going to send me for a dating u/s but I asked for the referral as I am extremely nervous after my last pregnancy and want to know as soon as possible that this one is on track.

I went in at 6 weeks and heard my baby's heartbeat! Also went in today at 8 weeks. If you tend to worry a lot (like I do) then you shouldn't feel bad about asking for an earlier appointment!

My doctor usually prefers 7 to 8 weeks but I convinced then to let me go at 6 weeks

6 weeks 4 days. But I had an IUI, so the RE's office did the US. My first US with my OB was 8 weeks. An OB usually won't see you before that. Good luck!!

My OB doesn't do ultrasounds until 12 weeks...they don't even see you until about 8 weeks for all your blood work and so forth. Longest wait to be seen EVER!!!

I had one at 6w5d but only because I was bleeding. Then an IPS ultrasound at 13.5 weeks (it's a test offered in Ontario there they screen for chromosomal issues such as downs syndrome and trisomy). I'll have my anatomy ultrasound at 18w4d.

8 weeks will be my first one for dating and health purposes, simply because thats the soonest they can rule out anything wrong with pregnancy, like tubal pregnancy. So I still have a little less than 2 weeks :-( Boo, lol.
