Yay for great appointments! When is the marterniT21 typically done, remylove1011? I've never gone past 8w in previous pregnancies. I'll probably get it done since I'm AMA.
My appt went well. Did not get another scan . But they did bloodwork, urine, and gyno exam. I'm scheduled for a scan on 01/27. Its crazy to me that i wont have my second scan until 11 weeks. I guess its just because my RE releases early. Ugh. Anxiety!!
Is anyone doing the marterniT21 testing? I'm unsure if I want to do it or not (tests for different chromosomal abnormalities through my blood).
I'm going to ask about the materniT21 test tomorrow at my appointment. I'm hoping she does it plus an NT scan just to be on the safe side.
((Hugs)) to those who are stressing about loss of symptoms.
I feel pretty good today, but I can credit upping my Diclegis dose to 4x a day for that. I found I'm actually less tired despite the fact that it's technically a sleeping pill because I don't feel like junk. I have vacuumed, put dinner in the crock pot, and run errands as well as actually feeding my kids and myself a real lunch. It's good stuff. Also, DD1 let me pretty much STTN last night. I'm sure that has a lot to do with my energy level. We gave her some extra reassurance and pushed her bedtime back a little.
3 hours. 3 hours dude. My kid cried for three hours before falling asleep for his nap. I bounced. I rocked. I left him alone. I patted his back. He was fed. He had a clean diaper. He finally fell asleep in his crib sitting up.
Sitting up? That's impressive. Sorry for the struggle:(

My MW office does a similar test at 8-9w. I don't remember what it's called though.

He eventually fell over. Lol. He ended up sleeping for only about 30 minutes. But I'm okay with it since he's in a decent mood now.
Ok just to be prepared for tomorrow's ultrasound so that I don't panic unnecessarily... 1. What should the heart rate be? 2. What is the margin of error for dating? Like when should I be worried that it us measuring too far behind? I will be 7 weeks tomorrow.

Deep breaths! I think they like to see the heart rate over 90 bpm, but I'm sure the dr/tech will let you know. I had my ultrasound exactly at 7 weeks and it was 120. I think margin of error for dating probably differs by practice. The date at the bottom of my picture says 7w0d +/- 5 days. Seemingly, they are ok with almost a week in deviation at my practice. Oh and FWIW they were able to do abdominal for me at 7w. Good luck to you and try not to worry too much!

bocaburger at my ultrasound the RE put me at 7w1d. Sounds like it's 4-5 days for margin of error. Heart rate for my little one was 113. It looks like over 90 bpm is what they're looking for as a minimum

Today was my first day back at work from Mat leave and kind of a shit show, considering I work with a bunch of middle aged threenagers. But glad to have a HOT drink, and lunch with friends and pee alone.
I feel guilty because I don't really miss dd...like...I mean, I guess If I stop and think about it I get a little heart pang but yeah, otherwise, I am kind of enjoying this.
I got my ultrasound dating appnt for 01/20 so ...only 2 weeks to go..

Apparently I have lost all control of my emotions. I cried at work, while in a meeting with my boss. Apparently I will be having a meeting with the CEO when he is in town at the end of the month, I really hope I can keep my shit together while in a meeting with him. Fucking hormones (both natural and all of the extras I am pumping through my body right now...)

I'm sorry. I feel that way too, I cry multiple times a day. It's ridiculous and I hope it passes soon.

Ok... bear with my vent over the stupid staff at my OB's office today. Loved the OB and his one nurse. Not so much of fan of the others.
The nurse comes to get me from he waiting room and does all the basic stuff (weight, height, urine sample, bp, etc.). She then asks me what my last menstrual period was.... I explain we did IVF and I have no idea, but I can give her my transfer date. She ignore me, looks in the computer and says based on my chart from RE it was November blah blah and my due date is 08/24. Umm, no it's not. I didn't even bother correcting her at that point she clearly was ignoring what I said. My meds list was blowing her mind.
Then I have to wait 30 minutes of bloodwork nurse to get back from her lunch (wtf?). When she does get back she has to poke me twice. I'm a hard stick and warmed her of this (deep veins that like to roll away regardless of how hydrated I am). She then basically says I better pass my glucose on the first try because she's never going to be able to draw me as many times as required for the longer test. Seriously? I'm sorry you're bad at your job.

For whatever reason, my appt took forever today! SO was grumpy about it, but I got back before you had to open your store, so shush Mr Crankypants.
Just normal history taking (new computer system, so we are rebuilding my info), blood draw (poked both arms since righty decided to be sluggish today), and urine collection (uti testing and whatnot). Got scripts for a chewable prenatal and B6/unisom. Didn't pick those up yet but I am headed back tomorrow to make sure my insurance is in order and to make use of my dental referral.
Scheduled my US for Tuesday the 19th. Excited for that! All in all, a decent appointment. Now it is naptime with my toddler, who is already snuggled up and passed out next to me.

Sounds like tactless staff doing the kind of complaining you might expect to hear strictly among staff, but never in front of the patient! I am sorry you had to deal with that.
Remy, that's awful. I'm sorry the nurses today were a couple of brainless morons. It's a wonder how healthcare people ignore the very crucial component of bedside manner.
I've had a random crap day and someone's adorable awkwardness just gave me my first real smile today. Thank you, person, for unknowingly making my day. <3

Ugh. I'm a hard stick, too. I tell all the blood takers to go for my hand. They always tell me it's more painful and I'm like "Not when you have to stick me unsuccessfully three times!"
