Needing help with how to handle early pregnancy. If a patient comes in and is only 6 weeks. Would this be coded as the initial visit if the flow sheet isnt opened?

Scenario: Patient comes in and we are expecting them to at least be around 8 weeks. Sono performed and the patient is measuring 6 weeks. The doctor is wanting the patient to come back in 2-3 weeks to confirm its a viable pregnancy. Would the 6 week visit be the initial visit as long as the flow isnt opened? What happens when they do come back in 2-3 weeks, is this now part of the global?
