Actually, a really good OB will often to blood work and a scan as early as possible, You can see the fetal pole from as early as 6 weeks. A heartbeat from 6+.
If blood work turns up an issue (ie. antibodies of indication of an immune or blood disorder) then early treatment can lessn the risk of a miscarriage. So it's a bit of a misnomer to say that you 'can't see anything' at 6-8 weeks. By eight weeks I had three scans already to be able to plot the course of treatment.
