I don’t think that there is necessarily an earliest time you can have an u/s but I do think that RE’s like to wait until a sac and fetal pole are for sure going to be prominent. My guess is that most RE’s wait until about 6 or 7 wks before scheduling the initial u/s. Best of luck – I know the waiting stinks.

I had my first u/s at exactly 5 weeks and it was only to make sure that the pregnancy was in the uterus. Believe me when I say there was absolutely nothing to see. It took the RE almost 5 minutes to find the pregnancy. I went back a week later and we were able to see a small sac with the fetal pole and the next week we were able to see the heart beating.
