Wednesday Chit Chat (randoms)

I bought myself a nice bottle a tequila a couple weeks ago for the amazing margaritas that I made myself and now every time I open my fridge I see it there and it both makes me very happy that I can't drink it and makes me really wish I could have a few shots to calm my nerves. I should probably move it.

30'ish minutes. I opened a window so a little better now. Sorry, other bus people, the noise is well worth me not potentially vomiting

These stupid ads that redirect the page are driving me crazy. Soooo glad Naria is always on top of blocking them, but damn they're annoying when I'm trying to do something.

I love Jim Gaffigan!

This is one of my favorite quotes:

mrsw062610, congrats on your closing! I think I told you but we just closed last week too.. So exciting! Did you move to a new town or just switch houses?

summerdonna, I hated feeling like I was always going to get my period... I actually had a dream about getting my period last week. I doubt it's a general rule, but that symptom went away by the end of week 5 for me. FX yours goes away soon - that one is no fun!

I hope your appt went well @aeroplaneoverthesea!

I'm 7 weeks and I still feel like I'm getting my period some days. : /

derrr... @aeroplaneoverthesea, I see now that your appointment went well... sometimes I read one page of a thread and assume it's over. then I sound dumb responding to something that has long since been addressed. yawp.

Only one more hour until I should have yesterdays beta! Hopefully. Yesterday the labs were automatically released at 5:30p, so I'm hoping for the same thing today.

Thanks! I was doing fine all day, but the closer it gets to 5:30 the more anxious I'm getting. I know the first number doesn't really matter, just the doubling time, but I'm still nervous.

I just found the whisk my husband put in the knife drawer. Sometimes I wonder who's pregnant here.

Anyway. I have my certification exam on Friday. I'm glad I'll be certified soon to make me more attractive in the eyes of my employer not only for asking for a large raise, but also because our sample volume has dropped and I don't want to be near the chopping block.

I actually wiped some bright red blood earlier and it's had me freaking out. I put on a pad and nothing so I hope it's not my period coming.

Pretty sure my husband has never learned where dishes actually belong in any place we've ever lived. And he's the one that puts away the dishes most of the time because he doesn't like me climbing on things when he's not home. 

Good luck on the exam!

I finally got to talk to our OB/GYN clinic on base and they set my first appointment for 10/26 (!!!) HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT THAT LONG. My anxiety is already through the roof. Since I'm overseas there are no other options for me.

How far along will you be at that point?

Eep! ((hugs)) that can be scary, but these things happen.  Keep us updated!  Sending you all the positive vibes!

They are counting me as being 13 weeks then, but I think I will actually be further along! They don't see patients before 12 weeks, and the week before we will be on our previously planned vacation. I hit the jackpot and got my BFP my first month off bc, which is awesome! But because of that I was spotting for the entire month of August and don't know when I ovulated. I was going to start charting the next cycle. Anyway, they told me they "don't want to see me too early" so they are counting August 16 as my LMP. If I am only 4 weeks along right now I will eat my foot. I got a (very dark) BFP 10 days ago!

I think they are idiots and should just give me an ultrasound to date everything properly.

So you don't even get the option of an NT scan?

@led I can't believe that they didn't call you with your results today.

Lurking from April 15 because you ladies are fun. 
We are a military family... did you talk to OB clinic directly? This seems odd to me. Do they maybe the ultrasound at that point? Even with that I am confused. There is testing that is generally offer at 10 weeks... Which is when most bases seem to see you for first provider appointment.  

Edit: led is right about NT scan that should be offered.

I'm just hoping they get released on MyChart. Yesterday they were released at 5:37p. So I'm hoping they get automatically released again today. But yeah. I agree. I wish they would have messaged me as soon as they got them.

This is me right now.

Yeah, I talked to them directly. They will have me come sit in an office around 8 weeks and fill out paperwork on my history, and then at 12 weeks I finally see the doctor and they do an ultrasound as well. I'm just annoyed that they brushed me off about dating the pregnancy.

I am sorry that's frustrating. I am angry for you. With filling the paperwork is that an appointment with someone? I had one with a nurse. If that was the case it would be a great time to bring up your concerns. You shouldn't be brushed off

I'm about to give up. I don't think I'm getting the results today.

Thank you. I'm not quite sure what it will look like yet, but I think that would be a good time to ask about everything. I am not a fan of this clinic so far, but I hear the actual doctors and L&D staff are wonderful.

Bah, I'm sorry you still don't have them  Hopefully they are there first thing in the morning (or now, really).
