Yes! The nurse spoke with another Dr in the clinic (since mine was in surgeries all day). The Dr said she wouldn't have ordered another hcg test based on that level (found out it was 203,600 which is on the high end of the normal range) and a good u/s. They suspect my Dr only read the lab results and missed the u/s findings. So I won't be doing another draw and will see them on Monday for my appt as scheduled. all happy news!

heading in I am thinking, I hope all is well. I already seen and hear baby's heart beat at 6.5weeks. I have a lot of questions for the dr because we are going on vacation on 8/10-8/15.
Update: today was my appt. All went well. Baby is growing, heartbeat was strong, and measuring at 8weeks 2 days. Based on LMP its only 2days off. I go back at 10wks. Doc said just to be careful on vacation and try to take it easy, which I plan on doing. He also said I can ease back into exercise, that makes me happy. He did mention if I start spotting again than I have to stop ALL physical activity, including sex, bummer! But all in all, as long as baby is safe and healthy!

Literal LOL at the thought of having sex right now.
I'm just hoping everything is ok. I don't know why I'm so anxious this time.
Once we see the baby we'll tell my grandparents. This week is a year since my grandpa died so I'm looking forward to sharing some happy news with my nana. I'll also tell my boss so she can start the process of freaking out about whether I'm going to come back or not.
Update: Had my appt this afternoon and it was great! Got to see the little bean and the heartbeat! I have another ultrasound on the 31st. Tomorrow I see my endocrinologist to monitor my thyroid. So many appointments!

I guess I can actually use the excuse, Drs orders!
Weeks+days at appointment: 8 weeks 2 days- will see what the doctor says about this
Will you have an ultrasound? I think/ hope so.. The nurse didn't specifically say when I scheduled the appointment
Heading in, what are you thinking? A little nervous, trying to be excited. Ready for Friday to get here. I'm just really hoping for a good appointment and for hearing/seeing the heartbeat.
*Update Us! Let us know how it went!
Just left my appointment. It went well, we are so happy. We saw and heard the baby's heart beating at 170! I am measuring ahead at 8w 5d, Here is the picture
Heading in, what are you thinking? I'm really nervous to see the heartbeat for the first time! I had some brown spotting and cramping in the beginning that has now resolved. Last Wed we saw the fetal pole and yolk sac but it was too early to see a heartbeat.

Update: We have a heartbeat of 122 bpm. So happy right now! Everything is looking great. I go back in 2 weeks for a follow up ultrasound.

Update: there's a baby in there! Heart beat 141! I thought I was 7 weeks 5 days and baby measured 7 weeks 2 days, so not far off!
It was so stressful though. They don't allow anyone in with you at the start here. I asked anyways and they said no. I was sobbing and shaking going in and when she started until she told me there was a heart beat. Pgal brain sucks.
