This week's appointments - Oct 5

[mrssqueegy]

Who's got appointments this week?  Come back here and update us on how they go!

[teraiin]

Mine is Wednesday! No plan for an u/s. Supposedly a 'history' and general information/check up type stuff.

[annarose]

Mine is tomorrow. U/S to confirm and then all the insurance paperwork

[Deleted]

I got blood work this morning and I'll get an u/s tomorrow. Then I'll see the midwife on Wednesday to discuss what to do next. Pretty exciting week!

[ellesea]

Good luck at your appointments ladies!

I went today! Baby was moving so much! I haven't ever seen that before and it was surreal. It was kicking, waving and bobbing it's head. Basically, it was having a dance party! HB was 153 and it was right on track growth wise.

[snoris]

None for me this week! GL to everyone with appointments!

[wanderingheart]

First ultrasound with our RE is today in a couple hours! We're excited!

Apparently going to the hospital lab was definitely a good idea. I already got some of my labs back!!!

My hCG level today, at 6w5d, was 37,339! I'm so relieved. I was really expecting something closer to 5k-10k. So excited for the u/s tomorrow!!!

First "official" prenatal on Friday. Doubt they will do another U/S but I am hopeful.

The local imaging center couldn't get me in until Thursday, so I'm going to one a little further away and my appt is set for tomorrow at 3:15!!! So excited!

Good luck at your appointments ladies!

I had my ultrasound this morning and followed up at my endocrinologist about my labs.

Ultrasound looked great. Measuring only 8wks 5 days rather than 9 wks 2 days but heartbeat was strong at 170. DH went with so he got to hear the heartbeat which he didn't get to hear with me the first time last time since he was on a fire in Oregon. It's definitely feeling real now!

My endo had decreased my meds a few months ago so he's increasing them back up. I stopped taking my levothyroxine one day a week and now he wants me to add half tablet back on that day and see him back in 5 wks.

Apt this morning went great. I officially graduated from the RE and have my first OB apt on Thursday.

My blob has arms and legs 8w 5d HR 189

[raelien23]

I go in for my initial confirmation appointment on Friday! I'll be 8 weeks. Don't think an ultrasound is scheduled but maybe soon we'll set one up then.

After a bad ultrasound on Friday (6w4d), at which they drew a beta, I have a repeat beta tomorrow (Tues) to see which direction it's heading. Then I have an ultrasound at a different radiology place Wed morning (the one on Fri was at the RE) to see if they can see anything better. It's been a really difficult couple of days.

I'm sorry for the bad u/s. FX for a good f/u u/s!

[Aaemommy]

I've got one on Friday! U/s to confirm. Yay!

Hoping your repeat beta and U/S show good news. ((Hugs)) so sorry you're in limbo

[grneyes]

thiswillbe (((Hugs))), I'm so sorry. I'm hope it was just too early still and you get good news.

[grneyes]

I have my second ultrasound this Friday with the RE for 7w4d. I'm hoping all looks good with baby (heart rate was a little slow last Friday).

Had my ultrasound - there was a lot of investigating because I'm so early, but we were able to see Hashtag's heartbeat! Sorry it's so huge, I'm too lazy to resize it. We have another ultrasound in two weeks, and then we can graduate from the RE. Yay!

[annarose]

Appt went well. Baby measured right on target and we heard the heartbeat! Interesting tidbit- I have a tilted uterus so it's sitting far back close to my spine, the U/S tech tired to do a stomach sono at first but couldn't get a clear show so we had to do the vaginal one.

[KirstenAlecia]

First "official" appt on Friday.

[Deleted]

I'm measuring 4-5 days behind. So not a great appointment, but we did see a strong heartbeat of 125! So that's good. I'm trying not to worry until I see the midwife and perinatologist and they tell me I have a reason to. I'm not as hopeful as I was this morning, but I'm trying to not let it get to me. I'm just really hoping he catches up and it all ends up being okay.

I see the midwife tomorrow morning, so at least I don't have to wait very long to discuss is.

[thiswillbe]

Sorry you're having to worry, LED. I definitely have heard that early on the measurements can be incorrect because they're measuring something so tiny. I hope your mind is put at ease soon!

[summerdonna]

@led I've got everything crossed for you. Yay for a strong HB. Grow baby grow!
