Scans aren’t really helpful before 6/7 weeks as there isn’t really anything to see

6 weeks tends to be the very earliest you can detect a heartbeat. You’re currently only 3-4 weeks pregnant based on your test, so I’d wait a few weeks.

We found out at 5 weeks, had a scan at 6, then 8, weeks, because I had some bleeding. Thankfully it was only implantation bleeding. They picked up a slight heartbeat flutter at 6 weeks, but even that was to early to be sure hence the 8 week scan. Other than that, NHS only really scan at 12 week unless theres a reason to scan early.

The earliest I’ve went for a scan is 7 weeks and you could see something small with heartbeat. Not many private places will scan before 6 weeks

Pointless before 7 weeks in my opinion, think the earliest you can see a heartbeat is 6. 1-2 means 3-4 weeks pregnant so they won’t see anything now if you went, I don’t even know if you’d find somewhere to scan you
