A bunch of people mentioned today that maybe one thread for a day's appointments would be a good thing? I don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try.
I have my first ultrasound at 8:30 AM, hoping for a good measurement and strong heartbeat.
Who else for Friday?
@kabjmb2013 & @superstealth excited for us for tomorrow. It's been so great reading everyone's good results and agonizing when it hasn't gone well. I'm just happy to finally know what's going on in there. Good luck to both of you!!
@mrsdanielleM2010 , @kabjmb2013 and @superstealth - Good luck and bring us back some great news! The beginning of the week was rough for some of the ladies on this board and since it's Friday, everyone deserves wonderful news.
I am scheduled for 2/4 buuuut my m/s turned into dry heaving at work yesterday and I have not been able shake it. Work ppl don't know, so I went home under the guise of having a stomach bug. I have a call in asking to be seen by OB/GYN today - FX they'll see me, bump up the ultrasound to today, and give me some zofran!!!
Our first appointment/ultrasound is next Friday at 3:00! I'll be 6-7 weeks. Our last pregnancy we did not make it to our first appt, so we are nervous but so excited! GL to everyone!!!
Thinking of all of you who are still waiting!!
Well, today we met our little bean, measuring right on time at 7 weeks, 6 days. Super strong heart beat of 166. We didn't get to hear it, but I sat there and watched, and DH and I both cried. The baby is a party animal, and was moving like crazy. In the picture, he/she is upside down. I hope everyone gets this good of news. Good luck, and many many prayers.
Had my first ultrasound this morning (it was bumped up due to some light spotting). Baby was there and with a beating heart! Measured about 6w2d, based on my calculations I should be 7 BUT the smaller measurement is not all that surprising since my cycles weren't regular. Staying optimistic and going back on 2/11 for first prenatal and another US check.

BFP#1: 9/28/2013, EDD 5/28/13, MC confirmed 10/15/13, D&C 10/17/13
I just got home from mine! Baby is measuring right on time, and we got to see the little heartbeat, measuring at 153. Such a relief, since my symptoms had subsided a bit.
Let me know if this is ginormous; I've never posted a pic from my phone before. I showed them to DD, and she got upset when it was time to put the pics away.
i had my final appt with the RE today! 2 weeks ago we saw a third baby, one of the twins split but it wasnt measuring well and had a faint hb. RE didnt expect for it to make it. he told me to expect bleeding and cramps. but 2 weeks later no cramps not even spotting so i was anxious to see the u/s today and its officially TWINS again. baby C was nowhere in sight and was most likely reabsorbed. both babies had strong hb at 179bpm. got to see them wiggling around it was the cutest thing everrrrrr!!!

First post here! Was waiting till I had a u/s cuz im a nervous person like that! Baby is just right measuring to the day of our EDD of 09/07. And a nice strong heart beat of 178. Cant figure how to post a pic from my phone but its a cute little thing!
Yesterday was my first u/s and appointment with the doctor. They scheduled my appt then guessing I'd be 8 wks. I know I ovulated late, making me 5w4d yesterday (i told the office this but they scheduled me then anyways). There was a gestational sac and yolk sac. From what I've read it looks like there could be a fetal pole at that point too, so I was disappointed we didn't see anything. The doctor (not my usual OB, but same practice) didn't seem concerned and said to come back in two weeks. When I first scheduled the appointment I was told they would go thru medical histories of me and DH and talk about what to expect in the whole process (appointments, ultrasounds, etc). The doctor did none of this! She basically just said to come back. It was so frustrating because I had these expectations set and she basically blew us off. It made me feel like she wasn't confident in the viability since she just sent us on our way without going over anything else. I was so upset about how it all went, and I wish we didn't go. DH feels like the next two weeks are going to suck now, but he doesn't really understand why I'm feeling this way. Now on to the waiting game....
I also had my first u/s Friday. It was such an amazing experience!! Seems like everything is great so far. Hearing the heartbeat was truly incredible. I think I still feeling a "high" from the whole thing. Here's our little lima bean

I had a similar experience. I had my first appointment on Tuesday and the dr didnt really answer any questions, she didn't explain anything and she didn't do an ultra sound. It is frustrating but one thing my husband said if you aren't happy with the dr. you can always switch.
I ended up having to have an emergency ultra sound on Friday. It was kind of scary but we saw the heartbeat and I am measuring 7 weeks. Turns out my hormone levels are low and I need to take supplements.
