Hi Jenica! It is not recommended na magpa-ultrasound kaagad para malaman kung buntis or hindi. Although puwede naman kung gusto mo pero mas better kung kukuha ka muna ng pregnancy test para hindi naman masayang ang pera mo just in case you're not pregnant.

Hi Jenica! You can do an ultrasound as early as 5 weeks from the first day of your mentruation. you can also try to do a pregnancy test first 2 weeks after your missed mentruation to check. This more cost-effective than doing an ultrasound right away.

How to count the weeks/days? After the last period or first day of period?

Day 1 is first day of your last period.
