waiting until 8 weeks.
I had a loss a few months ago during my first pregnancy.
My dr's office has a standard practice of seeing women at 8 weeks.
I'm annoyed that they won't see me sooner given that I've had a loss. This is going to be a LONG 3.5 weeks.

Re: waiting until 8 weeks.
How many weeks were you in your last pregnancy when you found out about your loss?
I understand how you feel. I had a loss in August and just got my BFP this morning! It's exciting and scary all at the same time.
Hang in there!
I was a little over 5 weeks.
Sorry for your loss. From what I've read here, it seems that if you had a previous loss, you'll get in sooner. So I can imagine how worried you must be.
Sorry this is too late to help you for your appt but might help others - I heard (and true for my dr) if you are unsure, or "unsure" if ya know what I mean, about whether your last period was real or just spotting they will see you to do a dating ultrasound. So when you call the first time, they will want to figure out if you are 4-5 wks or 8-9 and want to get you in.
Try to keep busy and find some non-baby projects - scrapbooks, update your recipe book, make/send some Valentine's Day cards, find some new things to cook...
I'm in virtually the exact.same.boat. My new OB won't see me until Monday the 6th (and I had to really twist her arm on that one, usually it's not until after 7 weeks) and I'll be 5w5d at that time. She also does not draw betas to track doubling. It sucks.
Hang in there!
