Hi ladies- looking for a little advise.

I'm 8w and I have antiphosopolipid syndrome with anticardiolipin antibodies.  I'm on a once daily 40mg Lovenox injection and once a day 81mg aspirin.  I've miscarried 3 times before in the 7-9 week range. I made my first ultrasound with this pregnancy for 11 weeks because of all my negative experiences with ulrasounds around the 7-9 week time frame.  Now I'm wondering if I should go in for an ultrsound this week, around 8.5-9 weeks.  Can anyone let me know if they know of any reason this would be beneficial?  Is there something that could be seen on the ultrasound that could indicate that my dosage is incorrect and could be adjusted?  I don't want to wait until 11 just because of emotional reasons and then at 11 weeks the ultrasound show something that the OB says we could've fixed had we known earlier.  Does that make sense? 

I lay awake at night worrying about...well.. everything and I'm wondering if the u/s now would calm my nerves. 

If it helps, my number for the anticardiolipin antibody was 47 (though I can't remember the units right now) which the OB said was just inside what is considered 'treatable'.  Apparently 40+ units is treatable. 

Any advise would be most appreciated.  Thanks for your time!
