Hi ladies! I need some words of wisdom...
Today I am 6w3d. I was under RE's supervision before I moved, but since I don't have a doctor here (Alberta, Canada), last week I went to a walk-in to request an OB referral and ask for early monitoring. This is my 4th pregnancy after 3 prior 1st tri losses, I am Rh- and taking Prometrium. The male doctor at the walk-in barely talked to me, but sent me for regular prenatal bloodwork (which included a beta test) and told me to wait for info on referral. Today I got a call from the clinic that I have an appointment with an OB, but it's almost two weeks away (2/9), which will put me at 8w1d. They won't tell me the beta number over the phone. So much for early monitoring...
So here's the question - would you push for an earlier ultrasound or just calm your tits and wait two more weeks? I don't even know if they'll do an u/s at the first OB appointment. I was really hoping to see the heartbeat either this week or early next week. I am nervous that since I am on Prometrium, there may be nothing there and I would just be delaying my period by a whole month, wasting expensive meds. I am also scared of a potential ectopic. Granted, I haven't had any concerns so far, nausea has kicked in, boobs are sore, and the tests were pretty dark when I peed on the last ones about a week ago. I am split between staying in ignorant "bliss" (I am pregnant until I am told otherwise) and my control freak side which needs to know every single detail of what is going on. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Here's a treat for making it through my rambling:
