Congrats! Start taking 400-800mcg of folate/folic acid daily to minimize risk of neural tube defects. Schedule a gynae appt between week 7 and 12. Any earlier, you may not see much from the ultrasound scan, e.g. can't even see embryo yet, so it's quite pointless. Week 7 onwards, good chance of detecting heartbeat but it's too early for dating (to find out expected due date) so no real hurry. Do read online about the new diet to follow. There's a couple of stuff to avoid.

Yes it's ok. If you go in May, I believe they can slot in a hospital appt in time. Or maybe use the formula below as a very rough guideline. Number of Weeks since your ovulation date till May visit + 2 weeks (allowance to book hospital appointment) = less than 10 or 11 weeks. E.g. 6 weeks (ovulation date on 1 april & plan to go polyclinic on 13 may) + 2 weeks (allowance for polyclinic to book hospital appt) = 10 weeks
