Anyone get an early ultrasound?

Hey ladies! New to the forum but I really like it so far! I am due Nov. 10th and have five year old twins. I miscarried in September at 10 weeks so my doc wants to do an ultrasound at six weeks to "check for viability". I was just wondering if anyone else has had an ultrasound that early? What were you able to see? I'm hoping if it's healthy we might see a heartbeat. With my twins I didn't get an ultrasound until 20 weeks! Which is when I found out it was twins! It will be weird getting one so very early!

    You might be able to see a heart beat but I only had ultrasounds at 8 weeks an all u can see is the sack a head an a little body its to early to see arms an legs but they are there

    Hi just got home from er visit. I've had 2 m/c and prego now around 5 wks per ultrasound and 6wks per hcg levels. They only saw a sac and yolk. I am high risk also, so its normal that they do ultrasounds early they just want to know that everything is going alright.

    Thanks! What did everyone else see at six weeks? Anyone see a heartbeat that early? I read if you detect a heartbeat the risk of miscarriage declines significantly.

    I had one to be able to calculate my due date due to irregular periods (didn't concieve until Sept but hadn't had a period since that April). They used the transvaginal wand, and we were able to see the heartbeat and a bean at 6 wks.

    I had a mc then had ivf to have my twins. With the boys I had a viability scan at 6wks and saw their heartbeats. I'm desperate to have one this time as this pg is natural and i'm high risk.

    Im only 6 weeks too... did yall have to ask for an u/s or do they jus offer it??
  • mrs_riviere82mrs_riviere82
    U can go to the e.r and tell them ur in pain n they will probaby do it, mind you they will draw blood, might give u an iv, but its up to you! Every hospital is different but you can also request! It all depends on how the doctor is or hospital!

    With my first I had an us at 5 and 6 weeks due to abdominal pain and high hcg levels. At 5 weeks I could only see a sac. At 6 weeks he looked luke a grain of rice and you could see a very small heartbeat.

    You shouldn't go to the er unless you really need to. It clogs up the er and makes people that really need it wait longer. It's one of the biggest problems our healthcare in the us faces. Plus taxpayers pay for your care if you don't have private insurance. Sure if you really need it, go, but don't make something up to be seen.

    I had one to determine how far along i was since i only menstrate like 4 times a year.... I was 7 weeks... it looked like a peanut but i saw and heard the heartbeat. :) I go again in about two weeeks for my 11-12 week one.
  • Lynn25Lynn25
    I had one at 6 weeks also to see how far I was since period disappeared. I heard the heartbeat as well.

    I had problems with bleeding and was at risk for a miscarriage. So the dr did a vaginal ultrasound when I was 5wks and 6 days. They (twins) just looked like little blobs but we could see the heartbeats! The heartbeats looked like a little flicker on the screen.

    I get a "mini u/s" April 1. I can't wait! Hopefully, they will figure out how far along I am then. I am either 12 weeks or 8 weeks right now.

    You can really see the heartbeat?! That's so exciting. Hopefully I get an u/s wen I go to the doctors on the 30th :)

    I had an ultrasound at almost 6wks and saw two sacs (im having twins) but the ultrasound tech could see the heartbeat, she showed me but I couldnt see cuz they were SO small, then had one at 9 weeks then 12 and I go again at 17 1/2 weeks :)
