Appointments - 5/10-5/16

[amandflo]

Day of Appointment: Yesterday (Thursday) and Saturday.

Weeks/Days: 4wk/5d and 5wk

Will you have a ultrasound? No, just blood work.

Heading in, what's on your mind? I was very nervous for the one yesterday since I had to go alone. For the one tomorrow I'm less worried because DW will be there. I just keep thinking happy thoughts before I go in.


*Update Us! How did it go?? Yesterday's beta was really good, we had doubling numbers still. Saturday will be our last blood work before we have, providing all goes well, an ultrasound at six weeks.

Appointment went well they said the heartbeat was between 160-170. The baby is measuring 2-3 days behind where I should be for my due day of jan 1st. Depending how things look next week my due date may be adjusted my guess it that it will based off when ff told me I o'd. Either way I'm so excited.

Day of Appointment: 5/15

Weeks/Days: I will be 4w3d for my appmnt

Will you have a ultrasound? No, meeting with my Hematologist

Heading in, what's on your mind? I am not sure what to expect as I wasn't expecting to have to see him. I am beginning Lovenox tomorrow and seeing a nurse so she can show me how to administer it but my doctor insisted on an appointment as well. We will see..

*Update Us! How did it go??

A quick 20 min appointment. Basically just seeing how my Lovenox was treating me and  I go back in 6 weeks. I did find out that I will probably have a scheduled delivery and it will probably be around 37-38 weeks because of the blood thinner. I will need to stop the Lovenox 24 hours before my delivery. If my OB doesn't feel the need to schedule my delivery I will be put on Heparin at 37 weeks because if I go into labor on my one while using the Lovenox - I CANNOT HAVE AN EPIDURAL! I am pretty sure my face dropped when he said that, so at this point I am hoping for a scheduled delivery. I will find out more at my OB appmnt 5/26.

When we lived in Alberta yep! We lived way up in Fort McMurray, and their ultrasounds were backed up so we had to go to Edmonton for the ultrasound.

I was about to ask if you were in Alaska, nope, but still much higher latitude than me. That must have made for some anxious car rides lol.

Oh yeah! Especially because the one road you drive on for like 4 hours is so incredibly dangerous! There aren't really any stops, cars and trucks passing on the shoulder, it was terrifying!

So, no appointments, but heres' the low-down on my betas:

5/8/15- 28
5/10/15- 37
5/13/15 -95
5/15/15- 208

PRAYING that this baby just had a slow start and everything will be okay. I have another beta draw in 4 days, and then if the betas ever get to the 2000 mark, we will do an ultrasound. The OB says I should go by my O date (and not my LMP), so that means my EDD according to O date is now 1/12/15 and I'll have a Tuesday Ticker change. We shall see if that changes again on ultrasound.

So, end of the story is: I AM HOPEFUL BECAUSE TODAY I AM PREGNANT!

Day of Appointment:
5/15

Weeks/Days:
not sure, somewhere between 5-7w

Will you have a ultrasound?
Possibly

Heading in, what's on your mind?
This is a new practice so I am nervous. My last dr was the only one in the practice and I am trying out this larger group practice because they have midwives on staff and are easier to plan appointments. I also lost my information about my last cycle when I got a new phone (had never backed up the tracking app) so I am hoping they will do an ultrasound for dating purposes. I am way too type A for this not knowing exactly how far I am.


*Update Us! How did it go??

The appointment went well. Got an ultrasound confirming I am six weeks, but I wasn't given an exact due date. I think she just forgot so I will call Monday. The heart rate was a touch low so I go in for another ultrasound in three weeks to be sure everything is staying on track. Overall I was impressed with the practice so far.

Update for Saturday: Numbers still doubling! I'm so excited that things are going well so far, but I'm nervous we have to wait a whole week to see if everything is still okay.

cindylouwho and peaseblossom55, so jealous you already got to hear the heartbeat! That is so magical!
mrsoscarfelix, I can imagine how nerve wrecking the scheduling of the delivery and medication management is. I hope you get it all worked out so you feel the best you can during labor.
itsmeally, I'm beyond ecstatic that you keep getting good news and higher numbers. It was so crushing to see you leave us and I'm just so thankful that you get to stick around.
