I got them at weeks 6, 8, 10, and 12. I was unconcerned with the risk of ultrasounds

After two losses, I had them about every two weeks starting at 5 weeks.

If you're high risk, the benefits of the extra ultsasounds definitely outweigh the bad...which isn't really all that bad.

My first pregnancy I had ultrasound at 8, 10 and 12 weeks. Earliest my OB does US is 6 weeks.

I had a bunch before 8 weeks but I had IUI. Maybe 3 before 8 weeks? I can't remember!

With my first I had my first at my NT scan, so 12 weeks and then at the anatomy scan at 19 weeks. This is standard at my OB
WIth my 2nd I had one at 7ish weeks because didn't know when I was due. Then the NT scan, anatomy scan and then another at 24 weeks because they wanted too monitor her growth, because she was measuring more than a week ahead(my EDD was wrong based on the first ultrasound)

I had 2 ultrasounds before 8 weeks, then the NT scan at 11 weeks. I also had several (can't remember how many, but at least 3?) after the anatomy scan at 20 weeks.

@snowjewelz: I've never heard of anyone being high risk because of their uterus. Maybe they are waiting till they see the embryo and then you will get on a regular schedule.

The weird shape could make you more susceptible to a loss, depending on where the implantation is....that's my only guess (and only b/c it was something my OB checked for after my losses)

I saw an RE so I had an ultrasound at 6 and 8 weeks. My nt scan at 11 weeks, followed by an ultrasound at 13 weeks (bleeding) and 16 weeks (ER visit), and at my anatomy scan at 18w.

I got my first one at 6 weeks and I think I got four total. My gf had one at every visit and that was the norm at her doc's office.

They actually weren't planning to do any ultrasounds until 20 weeks and told me to come in for a doppler heartbeat check at 10 weeks. Since I have a tilted uterus and they couldn't find the heartbeat, I had an ultrasound at 10 weeks. The same thing happened at 13 weeks, and they did another ultrasound. I'm kind of glad I have a tilted uterus, otherwise I'd never get to see the baby!

I had one at 7 weeks to see the heartbeat and whether or not there were multiples.

My next ultrasound was at 12 weeks (elective) and then at 19 weeks.

@Snowjewelz: Officially I've got what is called a retroverted uterus, and it is supposed to correct itself so they're not worried. It just means that right now the baby is nearer to my back than the front so they can't hear the heartbeat with a doppler. I am going back next week (15ish weeks) so they can try the doppler again, since they'll know it has corrected itself when they can hear it. Apparently there's a small chance that it won't self correct and then I'd need surgery, so they're checking for that...upside for me is that I get more than the 1 ultrasound my practice usually offers!

@Snowjewelz: Thanks, me too, lol!

I had weekly ultrasounds from 6-11 weeks due to bleeding and prev miscarriage, then due to second tri SCH/placenta issue, I've continued to have ultrasounds every 4 weeks. starting in third tri I'll be back to u/s every 2weeks. my doctor is really proactive.

I was considered high risk because of my chronic hypertension, so I got ultrasounds at 6-7 weeks both times.

I had scans at 7 & 9 weeks to make sure everything was progressing normally because I was spotting and had had a mc a few months before.
