[alpies]

I copied this directly from January's BMB (thanks Jan 16!!). I hope no one minds me starting this!


Day of Appointment:



Weeks/Days:



Will you have a ultrasound?



Heading in, what's on your mind?









*Update Us! How did it go??





**This is a check-in for appointments happening this week. You can post updates within the thread. This will be posted weekly on Sunday/Mondays (anyone feel free to start), for those with upcoming appointments to share/vent/ask questions, etc.

Day of Appointment: Friday, June 12

Weeks/Days: 6+1

Will you have a ultrasound? Yes, at my RE's office. If all goes well I can graduate to my OB like a normal pregnant lady.

Heading in, what's on your mind? I'm nervous. Even after great betas I still don't feel like this is real, or like it's too good to be true. I keep telling myself I'll feel better after the ultrasound (we should be able to see a HB) but truthfully I think I'll be a wreck for this entire pregnancy.

Day of Appointment:
 Friday 6-12

Weeks/Days:
 6 weeks 2 days



Will you have a ultrasound?
 Yes



Heading in, what's on your mind?
 I had my first ultrasound at exactly this point with dd so even though she was only a teeny tiny blob, I still saw something.  I'm worried I won't see anything this time though. 


















*Update Us! How did it go??

Day of appointment: Friday

It's with my GP - originally it was supposed to be so she could give me a referal to an OB but I got called by the midwife practice I wanted and they don't require a referal. But my GP still wants to see me. I'm wondering if it's because my thyroid test still came back slightly off (like if we weren't ttc/KU wouldn't even bother about it). It did the first time she tested it and they ordered a retest when my beta was drawn.

Now of course I'm all what does she want to see me for? Am I in trouble, am I super sick? i know it's an overreaction but I'm hungry and tired.

[kelle017]

It's a baby! One baby! The tech estimated my Edd to be 2/1 which means I would have ovulated on day 17. That's what I initially thought (ff says day 19) so I may go with that date.

She started out doing an abdominal which I thought was crazy. I could see the sac but couldn't see the baby until the did a vaginal ultrasound so my mind was getting all panicky for a bit.

So my appointment was great - my GP offered me a dating ultrasound so I don't have to wait until my midwife sees me to see if they'll order one. I go in June 20th at 7+3 for my US

She's also checking my hcg to make sure it went up, and rechecking my thyroid since the lab only ran 1/2 tests last time

I already posted about my appointment on the ticker change but I'll add in here as well:

Day of Appointment: 6/9

Weeks/Days: 6w

Will you have a ultrasound? yes

Heading in, what's on your mind? I knew my hcg was high and that made me extremely worried that they'd either see nothing or it would be ectopic.

*Update Us! How did it go?? It went great, we saw a blob with a tiny circle that pulsed with a heartbeat. I'm going in on Wednesday again to actually record the heartbeat rate and hopefully see something that resembles a baby shape. I'm worried about this next one as well but hopefully with every milestone I can relax a bit more.

Yay for a blob with a heartbeat!!

Edit to ask apunicorn: is having high hcg a thing with ectopics??? *off to Dr. Google*

No! Not at all!! High hcg is gooooooooooood I was just afraid because when hcg is high but they don't see anything in the womb on the ultrasound it's usually an ectopic (as opposed to low hcg and nothing in the womb, which is a miscarriage). Just my crazy PgAL brain! Don't mind me.

*phew* I was like "Ummmm, this goes against everything I think I know!!!"  I obviously have a crazy PgAL brain, too.

It was such a relief to see that one little baby with it's beating heart.  I'm still a nervous nelly but this helped me calm down a lot.

Question to you all. I called my OB and they don't want to see me until 8 weeks, for the ultrasound. Is this normal?

This is what I was thinking but I didn't want to assume.

I'm glad you got in at 8 weeks, sometimes they don't even request to see you until 9 or 10 weeks...

Did you make an appointment today? Mine told me to call at 6 weeks to get in around 8 weeks because there's always a wait.

I made it yesterday and it was the earliest appointment they had.

Even with my history of loss, I'm not being seen until 8 weeks. I'm taking all the meds i need to be on, so there's really nothing more they can do except wait and see.

That's a baby with a beating heart! 121 bpm, measuring exactly on track at 6w1d (yesterday). I feel like I can breath a huge sigh of relief. I thought I was graduating from the RE yesterday but he wants to see my one more time at 10 weeks. The drive is pain in the ass but I'm not going to say no to extra ultrasounds! Plus he switched me from PIO injections to suppositories so that is a huge victory in my book!

[virginiaorjohn]

alpies congrats on a perfect u/s! And congrats on being switched to supps - I switched two days ago and my ass is still covered in bruises!

[bee]

Yay alpies!!

[ang32]

Yay for all the babies and ultrasounds that went well!

[chocolate]

I'm so excited we are starting to see pictures and heartbeat confirmations!!!

I have an appointment on 6/24 and will be 6w6d but I think I might call on Monday and push it back a couple of weeks. I don't want to go in and just talk, which is what would happen this early.

[ang32]

I have my first ultrasound on 6/17 at 830! DH took the day off and is going with me. I'll be 5w5d. I'm anxious and counting down the days!

[krl52014]

I called today about getting phernegan (sp?) For nausea and while she had her on the phone I asked to be notified if any earlier appointments open up. She got me in for July 9 at 7w6d instead of July 22 at 9w4d. I'm excited!
