What type of ultrasound? Internal or external?

question... is this 6 weeks from the missed period, or from ovulation?

6 weeks from the first day of your last period.

I was 7 weeks with both.

I'm pretty sure they mean from your last period. When you test on the day of the missed period your considered 4 weeks PG.

Yea, that's what I thought. I just thought that I misunderstood. When I went to the doctor the 1st time, I was 4 weeks, and she scheduled me for an appt in two weeks, to do the whole history & U/S thing. Then when i went in when I was 6 weeks, she just gave me a pap smear, and said that it was too small for the U/S, so she said to make an appt for a month from then... which means that I'll be 10 weeks by then. A little late to start things, no?
