When is your appointment? April 18
How far along are you/will you be? 12+5
What kind of appointment is it? (OB, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc) OB workup and blood draw for Harmony test. No ultrasound.
Any feels? (vents, rants, worries) Just mild anxiety about making sure everything is on track. It'll be my first appt with my regular OB since I had to see someone else last time.

When is your appointment? Friday afternoon
How far along are you/will you be? I'll be 14 weeks 2 days
What kind of appointment is it? (OB, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc) OB appointment. My OB peeks in with an ultrasound instead of using the doppler, so i get to see baby.
Any feels? (vents, rants, worries) It will be a busy appointment. I need to discuss moving 4 weeks from today, the passing out, and that im still dealing a lot with dizziness no matter how much i drink, eat, or rest. I'm hoping to get him to let me come in for one more appointment in 3 weeks so it is less pressing to get into the new OB immediately.
When is your appointment? Thursday, April 20 at 4:00pm
How far along are you/will you be? n/a
What kind of appointment is it? (OB, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc) OB follow up from the D&C
Any feels? (vents, rants, worries) I'm just ready for it to get here. I have some questions I want to ask and I want to know if she has any info on our genetic testing, so hopefully we'll get some of those figured out.

Rama, Can I also say I love that fact that our loss moms are still part of our community. That's the way it should be. When I had my first loss, I did what everyone else did: said good bye on my BMB and then just lurked there. I still wanted to know what was going on with them and I'm sure they wanted to know what was going on with me but they had to lurk on the loss boards to find out. I like this system better.

I've always loved being a part of things and it's always been a good experience (though it's only been twice)(*scoffs at "only"*). I'm super invested in my kids' birthmates, so I'll be around! :)
What kind of appointment is it? (OB, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc) NT scan with bloodwork
Any feels? (vents, rants, worries) Not too much. I got my bloodwork back from the NIPT test which was all normal so we should be good to go but you never now I guess

When is your appointment? Wednesday: OB appt at 9:20 NT Scan at 9:45
How far along are you/will you be? 12w5d
What kind of appointment is it? (OB, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc) OB physical and then my NT Scan
Any feels? (vents, rants, worries) I can't wait to see the baby again. I think I would be a lot more nervous if a friend from my other bmb hadn't sent me her doppler she wasn't using. I've been able to find the hb when my anxiety kicks in or I worry something's wrong and I'm able to calm down after listing to it for a bit.

I am THIS CLOSE to being able to play in this thread again. 5 weeks is really too long.
Boooooo. Why so long? I'd have thought there would be more appointments for you.
I don't know I was in at 10w2d for fetal DNA testing and I'll be back at 15w2d for a lame appt I'm sure. I do get a bonus fetal echocardiogram in June though.

I don't know :( I was in at 10w2d for fetal DNA testing and I'll be back at 15w2d for a lame appt I'm sure. I do get a bonus fetal echocardiogram in June though.
Lame. I thought that IVF pregnancies got more monitoring. :(
Regular appt - just Doppler (healthy heartbeat at 160) and talked about how I've been feeling
I've been sleeping better and feeling better so that's great! I scheduled my glucose test appt and opted to do the 8 hr fast vs drinking the nasty ass drink. My appt is at 8:20a so I should be able to make it.
ETA: next appt is May 1 and it's my anatomy scan eeeee!

Tell me more about this... I didn't think there was an option but to drink the pure sugar (unless you couldn't keep it down)
I just asked my midwife if there was an alternative to the glucose test and she said there was an 8 hr fast I could do. I'm not sure why they don't bring it up. I had a hard time with the nasty drink last time.

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA):
How was it? Good, heard the HB and got to see my regular OB who is awesome.
What did you expect? Blood draw for Harmony and other testing, and OB workup.
What did you learn? Strong heartbeat and everything seems good. The blood draw was kind of rough, she poked around my arm for five minutes with no luck and finally had to draw from my wrist, which took forever to fill six vials.
New feels? Just really glad to have a good experience with my regular OB after the bad one I had at my last appt.
Next appointment/follow up: In four weeks. I scheduled my appts for 16, 20, and 24w so I'm booked through July.
I had an uneventful, quick 16w appointment today. I can't believe my next one is the anatomy scan in 3-ish weeks. This is such a weird mix of time crawling by but also moving fast.

Yesterday NT Scan and Harmony
How was it? Ugh frustrating. First it was great seeing the baby all active and waving at us. But baby was not cooperating with the sono tech and ended up not getting the right pics so I have to go back! She said she's not concerned about the neck measurement but she didn't get the pics she needs. Crazy kid had his/her hand up on his/her face so she couldn't get the profile. She tried for 40 minutes and it was getting uncomfortable. So I'm just waiting for the nurse to approve an override so they can squeeze me in on Thursday.
What did you expect?
What did you learn? My kid is already creating problems.

Had my 16week appointment today, uneventful which is how I like it! Peed in a cup, heard LO's heartbeat which sounded strong, got some free samples, got to see my favorite doctor.. overall it was a win!
