pregnant by IUI too many ultrasounds ?

Question

Hi all ,
I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant as a result of IUI. I am still under the care of the fertility clinic. I had my first pregnancy ultrasound around week 4 , I had the second one for fetal heartbeat this Monday (October 3rd) they are asking me to come back tomorrow for another ultrasound and bloodtest. Then another ultrasound Monday the 10th. When I asked if there was a concern for the one they suddenly scheduled for tomorrow they said no. I am worried that if I do these next two I will be at 4 ultrasounds before my 8th week of pregnancy. Is this too many ultrasounds for the first trimester ?

Answer

I only had two at my fertility clinic (6w and then at 7w2d). But everyone has different fertility issues so maybe that's why there is more? Congrats and good luck mama 😘

Answer

My fertility clinic (in USA) only wanted one for heartbeat confirmation. We had to do two to confirm both twins had a heartbeat, but I wasn't comfortable having them two weeks in a row, and they obliged. So I had one at 6 and one at the end of 9, and that was plenty. . Wont get another until 20. . besides, I have to pay for the ultrasounds separate from the fertility procedures and meds, and I live two hours from my clinic, so I'm not getting an ultrasound every week just "because". . If you don't want to get a bunch of ultrasounds, then your doctor should understand.

Answer

I had weekly ultrasounds from weeks 6-10 then the regular ultrasounds at weeks 13 and 18 and a follow up to the anatomy scan at 23 weeks to check on placenta location so I'm at 8 when most women have only had maybe 2.
If there was any risk to baby they wouldn't do them so willingly - they would only do them if absolutely necessary

Answer

I had one at:4w,5w,6w,7w,8w,10w,12w,13w,18w, and a fetal echo at 24w...another ultrasound scheduled for 28w.

Answer

No, it is fine.  Totally normal for a fertility clinic and their livelihood is dependent on helping people to have successful healthy pregnancies.

Answer

No it's fine especially when using a fertility. They go by a different protocol as far as ultrasounds since people that typically use them have trouble becoming pregnant or staying pregnant.

Answer

I had three in the first trimester after my IUI... i was transferred to a regular OBGYN at 12 weeks and everything went back to normal... it may be routine for that fertility clinic?
