Instead of potentially stressing her with another scan (even if people says it doesn't, how do they really know), at a time when if she is pregnant, she should be living a quiet stress-free life, why not wait for the due date to come and go, and then get your vet to x-ray to confirm she's empty.  I know it's frustrating not to know, especially if, given your commitments, you have a need to know, but if this was my bitch, I'd wait.  By around 7 weeks in, you should see/feel puppies moving around in any case and that still gives you 2 more weeks to get your ongoing plans in place.

I never bothered with scans as I was able to clear my schedule for the length of the pregnancy going forward, and hoping for the best.

Same as MamaBas
In 45+ years I have never scanned.  Preferring to assume a bitch is pregnant, and waiting until her due date.  I agree with an x-ray after this point, just to ensure that your girl is empty, and nothing is brewing.

You don't have that long to wait, although I appreciate that it's difficult not to be impatient.  I would advise - wait and see!!

I agree.  No scanning here.  It only tells you if the dog is pregnant at the time of the scan, not if she will remain pregnant.
