Who's seeing their provider this week?

BitterBetty12

Wednesday for ultrasound #3! Hoping to see a perfect 7w5d little nugget in there with a super strong heartbeat.

I have ultrasound #2 on Friday to confirm if I'm having twins and hopefully we confirm hb this time

UnbreakableKimmySchmidt

Going in for a pregnancy confirmation app on Wed. Excited to see my dr again, she was with us for DD’s birth and I really like her.  Hoping I don’t have high BP already...with DD it showed at the first appointment so I was high risk right away. No ultrasound until 20 weeks...anyone else have to wait that long?

also, this should be updated to 5/20.

I have my first ultrasound on Friday and it can’t get here fast enough. I had some spotting yesterday and did my best not freak out. It’s stopped now but I’m paranoid every time I go to the bathroom. I’m also feeling a stretching/pulling feeling which I KNOW is normal and my uterus is making room but it’s bad timing with the spotting.  C’mon Friday!

I have an appointment on Friday. Another ultrasound and the general 1st appt questions. We need to check progress of my SCH. I have been put on pelvic rest until this next appointment but if it's still fairly large I assume pelvic rest will continue.

I have an ultrasound on Friday and this week is going to drag by! I hope we'll be able to see something considering I will be 7 weeks but I'm not holding my breath.

I have my first ultrasound Wednesday morning, at 6w1d. Really, really hoping we get to see a heartbeat!

First ultrasound on Tuesday with my fertility clinic to make sure the pregnancy is viable. I’ll be 6+6 at the time. If all is well, I’ll be moved to an OB. Extremely nervous, but excited!

First appointment with my OBGYN tomorrow bright and early! 8 weeks

I have my first ultrasound tomorrow morning with my RE. Will be 5+4.

helleebellee

I have my first on Thursday. I’ll be 7 weeks.  I will be getting an ultrasound, so that’ll be fun. Just hoping to not have an SCH this go around.

First ultrasound on Friday. I’ll be between 6-5 and 7-1. I just really hope I’m measuring correctly. Last fall I measured a week behind and I lost the baby a few days later. I just am not healed from that yet and I will most likely freak if it’s a repeat situation.

kkb0520

First appt. tomorrow at 5+5! Nervous, and excited, and nervous.

blueowl08

I have my first appointment tomorrow too. I’ll be 6+5. Hoping that everything goes well! I’m trying not to be too nervous but it’s really hard not to be.

@catlady2015 can you update the date to 5/20 in the title. Please and thanks! 

skilouise

I have my second u/s on Friday, at 7+6. If all goes well, it will be my last appointment with the RE!

KariAnn323

Second u/s and a progesterone check on Thursday at 6+4. Hoping for a nice strong heartbeat.

ladystout08

Second beta tomorrow. I'll see my RE then too. 

RVAmom315

Had my appointment this morning - everything looks good! Apparently I have a tilted uterus (??) - first time I've heard that, and she had a hard time finding baby with the T/V - so we went to belly U/S and there he/she was! But now I'm back to measuring 2 days behind. GAH!

Had a check up with the doctor to go over my history, asked if I wanted VBAC or another C/S - um, do we have to talk about his now lol? Have my genetic screen test on 6/6 (Materni21) - I'll be just over 10 weeks...that seems early to me.

Got a bunch of b/w done too - 5 vials. Good times.

@RVAmom315 Yay! So glad everything went well today! I have a retroverted uterus too and it's always so nerve-wracking when they can't find baby right away.

First OB appointment on Wednesday! They said they won’t do an U/S at the first appointment, but I’m hoping they’ll make an exception for me because I am high risk. In any case, I’ll definitely be begging for nausea medication.

bradleysmommy28

Its a pretty big week for me this week!  I see my RE Wednesday for my discharge appointment and ultrasound #3 (I'll be 8+1) and Thurs I see my MFM for the first time.

blueowl08

Had my first appointment earlier today and my ob did an ultrasound. Everything looked good except that she thought I was more like 5 weeks when I should be 6+5 based on LMP or 6+3ish based on OPKs. It was a quick measure and I didn’t get any exact estimate but it still makes me nervous.

Try not to stress--I personally understand how nervous you feel, but try and busy yourself with other things.

Quoting myself, ha! 

First beta was 28 at 11DPO, today at 15DPO it's up to 251! My RE said I could either come in Friday and check again or wait until next Tuesday. I opted to wait because I have a history of stressing myself out over my HCG levels and checking my patient portal constantly so I'm trying to force myself to relax.

I have my second ultrasound on Thursday with my RE. My doctor does weekly ultrasounds through the 9th week before he transfers to OBGYN as well as bloodwork. I hope everything looks good. Nervous even though I have no real reason to be.

texasmommie

I go for my first u/s Friday. It was originally scheduled for June 5th, but been having lots of bleeding and the doctor asked me to come in sooner. Very nervous. Hoping for the best.

luckymay2x

Good luck, @texasmommie, all my fingers are crossed

All the FX @texasmommie!

Saw a little babe measuring 7+3 with a HR of 154! Such a relief. My OB is super happy and backing off on the weeklies now (though she told me I could still keep coming if I wanted). I asked for one more so I’m going back on two weeks for another scan. 

She alwo gave me to OK to start my baby aspirin since there is no trace of the SCH.

Tomorrow I have another US, last time I was told I may have twins, we couldnt confirm HB of the one we could see well. Soooo hopefully theres atleast a healthy bean with a hb. 

texasmommie

Thank you @luckymay2x and @BitterBetty12 ❤

Good luck and sending positive vibes your way. Twins...how exciting. Will be waiting for a positive update tomorrow ❤

Still bleeding today    When I went to the doctor Friday my HCG was over 9000, and the nurse said it was good. Just not understanding the constant bleeding. Not having a period is one of the perks of being pregnant right? ha! I didnt know I was pregnant until about 12 weeks with DD. I am wondering if this is the same stuff I went through with her and the reason why I didnt suspect I was pregnant until further down the road. I am hoping so, because the last few weeks have been pure stressful and very nerve racking. Tomorrows appointment can't get here fast enough. 

skilouise

Ugh, can it be tomorrow morning yet? So anxious for my u/s tomorrow.  The last one was great and I don't have any specific reason to think this one won't be the same, but I'm still having so much anxiety about it today.

On the positive side, assuming everything goes well, we're telling my family this weekend!  

ladystout08

I'm going in for another blood draw tomorrow. My PGAL brain is kicking my butt so I'm hoping some nice strong numbers will ease my mind over the long weekend.

sparkymcgeee

I feel you Ash. My first is tomorrow afternoon and it seriously needs to get here sooner. I need to see this baby. 

gorgeousariel

There's a lot of us going in tomorrow! Mine is the last appt. Of the day @3:30. Another ultrasoumd to look at my large SCH . Hope everyone has a great appointment 

ouiser_boudreaux

I’m kicking myself for pushing back my first US so I could leave early for vacation by a few hours. 2 weeks y’all! No bueno. Until then I’m having fun scaring the crap out of DH that we’re having twins because my betas doubled in >29 hours


Good of luck with appointments this week ladies!

catlady2015

@gorgeousariel - FX for a smaller SCH tomorrow!!
