I just called to make my first appointment. They scheduled it for 9/30. I guess I would technically be like 7 weeks then...is that too early to go? I ovulate late and think I ovulated around CD 19. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I am going to have to pay out of pocket until Jan. My first appt is $750 and I just don't want to go too early since I have to pay out of pocket! Thanks ladies!

Are you going to your RE or OB? If it's your RE, they should do a dating ultrasound, and at 7 weeks, you should definitely be able to see a heartbeat. An OB may or may not do one that early since most only do the NT and AS ultrasounds, but I would assume they'd confirm pregnancy either with a blood test, or check your urine.
My first appt with the OB was actually just with a nurse practitioner and she gave me a packet of info about what to expect throughout pregnancy and we just talked about how I was feeling and answered any questions I had.

Unless your RE wants you in sooner, I see no issue calling to postpone a week or two if you want a little extra time to save money.

I had one a week with my RE until 10 weeks, then had my first appt with the OB at 12, so I'm not much help on that front.
After my first OB appt, I had them starting once a month, and they basically just take my bp, weight, had me pee in a cup, they listened to the hb and they answered any questions I had. Luckily, the appointments have pretty much stayed the same for me througout pregnancy, with the occasional u/s or glucose test thrown in.
