Good morning, ladies! Your positive vibes, thoughts, and prayers have gotten me through my low hcg limbo, my very first ultrasound, and I'm confident that your support will see me through tomorrow' big appointment! This is my fourth pregnancy, and it's been our unfortunate experience to have discovered each loss at our first ultrasound at the OB's office- we've not had a healthy scan there to date. Tomorrow WILL be our first!! I've felt so positive and assured throughout this pregnancy; even when my initial numbers were cause for worry, I just knew that this LO was healthy and strong. I'm leaning on that (and you lovely ladies) as I fight to battle the PGAL worries that seem to be haunting my thoughts today. Thank you so much for helping me to battle them and for sending your t&p's that we will see a healthy, wiggly LO on the screen tomorrow!
**UPDATE**
I cannot put into words how much your support means to me!! I reread all of your messages this morning before I went- such a great help!! I shed a few tears as I laid on the all-too-familiar table and waited... the ultrasound tech was great and showed me the healthy heartbeat right away before she checked out cervix, ovaries, etc. Our LO is right on track!! She didn't mention how fast the heart was beating, but we got to listen to it!! What a beautiful sound!! We go back a week from Monday to see the doctor- I can't wait to see how much our LO grows! Also, looking forward to asking more pointed questions about when we should consider our due date, what exactly the heart rate is, etc. Also, we'll be getting our Panorama test done at that appointment. Thanks again for all of your encouragement and support!!
Sending lots of positive vibes for a great appointment tomorrow!!!

Yay!! Great update!! Congrats on putting the curse of the OB's office behind you!!
This is exactly how I felt today! We've come to really dislike walking into that office, and as soon as I got into the ultrasound room, the tears started flowing at all of the memories. Now I have a BEAUTIFUL memory to focus on!
