Thanks for starting jcrewgirl!

When is your appointment?
Thursday.

How far along will you be?
6w5d based on O. 7w4d based on LMP.

What type of appointment is it?
Early ultrasound!

Will you ask any questions?
How does everything look in there? I asked the nurse on the phone last week if it would be too early for a heartbeat and she said it wasn't, so I'm really looking forward to seeing if they can detect one. I'm just really hoping everything measures well.

[WittyLittle]

ooooh good luck guys!!!

[adouces06]

When is your appointment? Today at 2:40 EST

How far along will you be? 8w2d

What type of appointment is it? Viability u/s. My OB wasn't concerned, but apparently my uterus was a smidge small at my appointment last week, so she ordered an u/s just to be safe. Cue the panic.

Will you ask any questions? Just making sure everything is ok.

[iwantbacon]

When is your appointment? 2/25

How far along will you be? 8'ish weeks

What type of appointment is it? Endocrinologist -- need to check TSH levels and adjust meds if off

Will you ask any questions? Yes, but probably not until after lab results are in. Due to my history, I'm concerned about levels and effects if it is not managed. Glad to be going in for this visit!

[ellabee]

Good luck this afternoon adouces06!

[ameliapond]

When is your appointment? Wednesday

How far along will you be? 6 weeks 5 days

What type of appointment is it? Ultrasound

Will you ask any questions? Just wanting to know if everything looks okay. If we get past that, I just want to know when my next appointment is.

[jwinct]

Good luck at your appointment, adouces06!

[littlelanes]

When is your appointment?
Thursday.

How far along will you be?
7 weeks.


What type of appointment is it?
U/S w/RE. Heartbeat check.


Will you ask any questions?
When can I stop PIO because my ass has zero real estate left.

[murrt]

When is your appointment? Friday

How far along will you be? 6 weeks.

What type of appointment is it? Ultrasound and meeting with our Reproductive Endocrinologist

Will you ask any questions? I'm hoping to see a heartbeat. I also want to know when I can stop Crinone, Estrace and Baby Aspirin. I'll ask her for OB recommendations, and because I only have IVF coverage until May of next year and we want more than one child, I'm going to ask her a lot about the possibility of cycling after LO is born, what would be involved, and when we should plan to do that if we decide we want to.

When is your appointment? Wednesday

How far along will you be? 6+3

What type of appointment is it? Ultrasound

Will you ask any questions? I want to ask about MS and keeping my synthroid down. I also want to know when to call the OB and how many more appointments we'll have with the RE. I already know when I'm stopping the endometrin and estrace. I also want to ask about monitoring my thyroid. And I think I need to cancel my monitoring appointment with my GP (thyroid).

How stressful- I'm sorry that you have to deal with managing another pregnancy so soon after having had birth because of insurance. I know it's a blessing to get that coverage, but still, newborns be hard yo.

[raechay]

When is your appointment? Tomorrow (2/23)


How far along will you be? 8w2d



What type of appointment is it? U/S, intake appt, pap smear (woohoo)



Will you ask any questions? I will get their referral for the NIPT test. I'm going to ask them to culture my pee too, because this time last pregnancy I had a UTI with zero symptoms, so I'd like to rule that out. I might also plead for a thyroid ultrasound because I've been having weird throat issues since November and my ENT kinda brushed me off (maybe rightly so, but I need the peace of mind).

Yeah, I'm thinking I might just do a cycle and then freeze all embryos and transfer them later. The biggest thing is if we do that, I'd have to stop breastfeeding kinda early, hope for a period to come, and repeat all of the testing which can take time. I need to ask if she can give me pro era for a period if my period doesn't come back on its own.

You might get "lucky" and get a period anyway- with DS I breastfed until 13 months but got my period when he was six months.

What type of appointment is it? Nurse's appointment. Hoping they will schedule me a dating ultrasound.

Early/dating ultrasound, will also talk to doctor

The main things on my mind are if it is ok to keep taking the B12 vitamins I was taking pre-pregnancy and get his thoughts on using essential oils during pregnancy.

[sanibel21]

Eeek! Good luck adouces06 and fem at your appts today!! And good luck to everyone with appts this week!

[jwinct]

I hope your appointment went well, also, fem!

[adouces06]

Appt went well! I must have implanted later, because I was a couple days off. The doctor put my due date at 10/3. I panicked because at first we couldn't see anything. Then he did a vaginal u/s and we saw a beautiful little bean with a perfect heartbeat!

Thanks for all the good luck ladies!!

When is your appointment? 2/26

How far along will you be? 5 weeks

What type of appointment is it? Endocrinologist I have to go over lab work to make sure any adjustments to my meds are made.

Will you ask any questions? We will most likely discuss the plan to keep my levels regulated throughout the pregnancy..he mentioned something about switching my meds to only synthroid instead of a combo of synthroid and cytomel so we'll see...

Oh another mama on thyroid management!!! What condition do you have? I'm total thyroid hormone replacement after thyroid cancer..I go see my endo on Friday...had blood work done this past Friday to check and see how my levels were.

[meow84]

I had another blood draw today at 5w3d. I'm hoping this is the last one. My doctor is just looking for my HCG to be above 1500 to order an ultrasound and last week it was 1220.

[fem]

Yay on the good ultrasound adouces06!

I did get my ultrasound scheduled for next Monday - I worried for nothing.
