Not so much an appointment, but I spent the morning in emergency for a UTI apparently my doctor's office is closed Wednesday's... Fun times!! Got myself some pregnancy-safe antibiotics. It was still fun to talk to the nurse/doc about pregnancy! Heheh

I had to go to cafemom tickers. You create the ticker you want then they email you about 5 links. Grab the message board code, and put it in the image box.

Thanks @Kate08Young ! I went to lilypie and it worked for me! Makes me feel better that I know what I am doing haha. It must just be the bump that is having problems with their tickers.

@Sugargirl1019. I'm thinking of you. Remember it's not DPO that counts when you got a BFP, it's what day in your cycle you O'd. I got my BFP at 8 DPO, but I ovulated 4 days later than normal. Were you using FF? Can you look back to see if signs point towards late ovulation?
@DiFazette All signs - temp jump, OPK, and CM point to O on 3-17. All my temps afterward were high. They didn't drop below the CL.
EDIT: What's the chance I O'd on 3-21? And actually BD'd it on that day?? Someone do math for me. How many days behind does that put baby then? LMP 3-6 I'm at work my head hurts.
My OB just called me! My HCG is 25,633, and progesterone is good!! So that puts me EDD 12-17, and I'm only 3 days behind? Omg I'm dying from relief right now. Fingers crossed all really is well!!!

I had my first appt yesterday - like I said earlier in the thread, I've had 4 separate occasions of red spotting so I was nervous but all is well!! My HCG repeat labs from Friday and Monday came back at 31,000 and 58,000 so increased like they were supposed to, my progesterone needed to be at least 10 and was 19 and they did an impromptu ultrasound and saw the babe/heartbeat at 120!!! So happy :-) No explanation for the bleeding but everything is looking good and Dr said he's not worried. Yay!
Had another ultrasound today before I head out of town for over a week. Baby is measuring 7w6d with a heartbeat of 152!
My blood workup came back and everything looked good. The only thing was my Rubella immunity came back as "Immune", and it was "Not Immune" when I was pregnant with my DS 2 years ago. I had the MMR shot when I was little but did not have one over the past two years. Dr. thinks it is most likely a lab error on the earlier pull. That or I am one of the 5 people who gets rubella in the US per year. Either way he explained that it would not be a concern for this pregnancy, because in order to test "Immune" I would have had to had it months ago--not during this pregnancy. Anyone else ever have anything weird like this?
@Sugargirl1019 - so happy to hear that! That's great news
@jennbaylor12 - great news! ps there's two exact same names that come up each tag... Not sure how since there can't be duplicate SNs. Just wanted to let you know.
I just posted this over in the U/S thread -
You guys!!!! Holy SHIT!!!! So, I went back today since baby measures 6 days behind last week. Today, there were TWO!!! We're having twins! I'm so dumbfounded. Equal parts excited and scared shitless. How in the literal F did I grow a second child in a week that measures 7w2d?????? I'm kidding on the last part, kinda. Strong heart beats on both - 166 and 172.

@jennbaylor12 - I'm a total CF today. I mean that when I try to tag you two tag options come up, both with your name. Here is a screenshot since I has the dumb today. It's just odd, is all.
Had my appointment today, the specialist said everything looked good and baby H was measuring 2 days ahead of schedule! We saw the HB but he didn't measure it, which honestly is fine with me because I was just so excited to see it. My mom was with me and BAWLED like a baby lol, DH was excited when he got to see the picture. (pic is in U/S thread)
And @DiFazette holy cow TWO???? You're awesome! I can't believe they didn't see the other all this time? Pass that luck onto me, girl. so happy for you!

I had a really quick appointment yesterday. I gained four pounds in month! Oops. I need to work on that. Dr said, and I quote, "You're showing already! If I didn't see your ultrasound I would have been scared you were having twins!" I'm not a super big person and my belly is sticking out already and you can feel my ute. Thanks, Doc. He also tried to find the heartbeat with the Doppler and couldn't yet, but said not to worry since it's so early it would be hard to hear at this point anyway. And if this one is anything like this brother, he's way back there anyway.
Just finished up my appointment earlier this afternoon. Everything seems to be going well, and we saw our little via US too. Based on the US, I'm measuring 8+4. It's within the normal variation, but my OB is moving my EDD accordingly. It's now 12/4, so I'll be updating the board's form and my ticker shortly. Other than that, they're setting me up for EPS (I'm guessing this stands for early, or maybe elective, pregnancy screening) testing due to my age with one of our area MFM docs at 12 weeks (ish).
Had an ultrasound today with my doctor's colleague, a perinatologist (because my doc's u/s machine sucks). Was able to see a baby and hear his/her heartbeat. So happy. Measuring at 6w1d, which is two days earlier than I thought. Will wait to hear from doc as to what the EDD is.
Had my first appointment today! Definitely pregnant!! (I always doubt myself until I see the dr) I'm still breastfeeding my second child so I've only had 2 periods, 6 weeks apart. I've never had a dating ultrasound but I'm glad my Dr wanted one. I'm going next Friday morning. I might bring my 2yo. She's having baby fever right now and thought I was actually bringing the baby home today. She's pretty mature for her age so I think she will do well. But she's two... I could have a pretty funny story next Friday too.
I had my first appt this afternoon. I have watched so many YouTube 8 week ultrasounds that I knew how big the baby should look. Measured right on target at 8w2d with heartbeat of 166. That flicker was the most wonderful thing I have ever seen!
