So exciting!!! I can't wait for my first appointment.  I'm going to call my doctor's office in a couple of weeks to see when they want me to come in.

I'm actually really happy I called when I did. They only have two appointment slots per day for intake appointments, the lady on the phone said they get a lot of women who wait to call and they end up not being able to see them because they have no appointments!

I called the day I got a BFP.  My 1st appt is Jan 3rd!!  I could have gone a week earlier but for insurance reasons we pushed it back 1 week.  Effective Jan 1st all prenatal visits are covered 100% at my job.  If we would have gone 1 week earlier our 1st appt would have cost us out of pocket over $1,000 between the blood work and ultrasound.  I can't wait I hope december flies by!!

Congratulations!

I got an unambiguously positive home test result yesterday (about 14 DPO?) so I called my usual OB/GYN office this morning to make my appointment, thinking I was being all conscientious, and the receptionist told me to take the test again on Monday and call then. I'm a little annoyed because I know December & January are going to be busy times at this office. But I guess it can't hurt to wait.

Really?  Maybe, I'll call sooner just to be safe.  I figure even if they won't see me until January, it won't hurt to make the appointment now anyway.

It is really crazy to think that they fill up that quickly, but I have heard the same thing.  I made an appointment and will be seeing an OB (for concerns about miscarriages...my mother had multiples) on Wednesday.  I am kind of nervous because I didn't have a regular OBGYN before this and my regular doctor just moved.
