Is it possible to have first date scan within 38 days of conceiving?

If you have had IVF then they offer a viability scan at around 7 weeks but standard NHS scans are 12 and 20 weeks only.

You would have to book a private scan to get one before 12 weeks. They normally don’t recommend any earlier than 7 weeks so they can confirm a heartbeat. Any particular reason you’re wanting one so early?x

My understanding is that it's from 6 weeks. If you defo conceived 38 days ago, you will be 6 weeks by medical terms as they count it since your last missed period. Sounds like you'll be good to go. You could always call a clinic like window to the womb and check :)

As others said though, this would be a viability scan and would need to be done privately. Window to the womb in walthamstow was £49, worth every penny. They have branches all over the country I believe...but whether they're still open I don't know. Good luck

Only if you went privately and those types of clinics may not be open at the moment. You’d also have to have it booked in extremely fast/hope they had a slot because 38 days post conception would be roughly 24 days after a positive test, so 5 weeks +

3 days pregnant. So you would barely see anything.
