How many weeks pregnant were you when you had your first doctor's appointment?

I got my BFP late last week and when I called my doctor the receptionist gave me an appointment for 1/11 which will put me at 8 weeks. I said to her that last year when I found out I was pregnant with my first, I had an appointment at 6 weeks. She said the doctor now see patients when they are 8 weeks. It's going to be a long 4 weeks!

I was originally scheduled at 8 weeks, but had some concerns (paranoia) so went in at 7 weeks.

Most doctors won't see women until the 8th week.

For women who battled infertility or previous miscarriage they are monitored more closely and usually are seen right away. For example, my first doctor's appointment with an RE was at 4 weeks. Ten days after my BFP.

When I made the appointment, they told me they normally don't see people until 7 or 8 weeks, but I could come in earlier if I wanted to.

I was only 5 weeks, but they did all the annual stuff at that appointment, so technically, my first "OB" appointment was at 8 weeks with a sono...
