Ultrasounds are typically scheduled after 6 weeks since the last period. Even with a positive pregnancy test, early pregnancy loss can happen. An ultrasound can add clarity about what is happening, so choices are not based on guesswork. If the abortion pill is being considered, timing matters, and last period dates can be off. An ultrasound can help confirm how far along the pregnancy may be before any next step. Accurate information and a calm, pressure-free space can make a hard moment feel less chaotic.
