Title - How early can I have an early pregnancy scan? Tags - sapfaq earlyscan

Strictly speaking, a pregnancy can be detected on an ultrasound scan from 6 weeks. Therefore, if you are confident in your dates, prepared to have a transvaginal (internal) scan, and simply want to know that your pregnancy is viable, then you could have a scan from 6 weeks.

On the other hand, if you’re not that confident in your dates and/or you would prefer to avoid an internal scan and/or you’d like a little more information than viability, then I recommend having an early pregnancy scan from 8 weeks.
