Just an update... I rescheduled my first pregnancy U/S for the 30th which will put me at 8wk. Although I wanted to see them next week, they just didnt have any openings. This is probably ok, but does anyone see any disadvantages to getting my first U/S so late? Most people on here have them at 5, 6, 7 wks.

Thanks so much!
It's a safety thing. We like to get early ultrasounds in order to identify the implantation site. Ectopic pregnancies are somewhat more common in IVF cycles than in natural cycles, so we like to get a good look at the uterus and the tubes at 5 weeks or so.
Thank you Ghost and everyone for your advice! I rescheduled my U/S for today. They saw TWO HBs and two sacs!!!
Amazing!!! I have to come back in two weeks but Im so glad I went today!

Thank you everyone again!!!
