Early scan

Hiya, Has anyone had an early scan and how far were you? My Dr is refusing to give me an early scan as you have to have 3 mc's before they will but I know other people in diff areas that have had one. I know I might sound mad but I want to pay for a private one as I had a mmc I'm terrified of getting to 12 week scan and finding out I've had a mmc even though I know there was no reason it happened and no reason it might happen again. Anyway what I really wanted to know what when would be the best time to have it? I'm only 4+5 at the moment so still a while to go before knowing x

    Hello! I've had early scan today as I have PCOS and used clomid. I am 6wks + 3 days and I saw little blob with flickering heartbeat in middle, it was brilliant! I'm also going to pay for private scan at 10weeks for reassurance as can't wait another 6 weeks for one!! X

    My EPU won't see you without a referral from a GP unfortunately. X

    Kay-mc, I would suggest you ring EPU direct....tell them you are very worried...stomach pain etc....they should slot you in x x

    Thanks Claire, I will give them a call and see what they say, I'm only 5 weeks so will give it a week as I don't think they scan before 6 weeks x

    Kay-Mc I've had an early scan, I was reffered through the gp. Hope they give you one for reassurance, such long wait otherwise till 12 weeks, specially with your history.

    Good luck, let us know xxx
