When will I have my first ultrasound after IVF?
Your first ultrasound after IVF is typically scheduled 3-5 weeks after embryo transfer, which corresponds to 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. This timing allows doctors to:
- Detect fetal heartbeat reliably
- Determine if it’s a single or multiple pregnancy
- Confirm intrauterine pregnancy location
- Assess normal pregnancy development
The ultrasound is usually performed transvaginally for clearer, more accurate images.
