I've been kind of MIA lately, May is a busy month for us. Anyhow, apparently (if all works out) we're going for round 2 (I got a BFP last week). I'm sure a lot of you remember what happened last time, so I'm not going to tell anyone until we're out of the woods completely this time. You girls really helped me get through it last time, and I am forever grateful to you for that.
So this is my thing, last time I went to my OBGYN and I didn't get to hear the heart beat until the 2nd time I went in. The first time he just did a check up but didn't check for it (I guess maybe it was too soon?). So this time I don't want to go in until they can check for it because I'd rather just know that there is one from the beginning. So yeah, sorry for the rambling, the question is: when do you think I should go in? According to calculators I'm about 6 weeks along. What do you think??
Thanks!:)
Re: Need your advice
First off, congrats! and I pray that this is a sticky baby for you
Second, I wouldn't lie I'd just call and tell them you aren't exactly sure how far a long you are and that due to the fact that you had a miscarriage earlier this year you'd prefer to have an ultrasound at your first appt. just to make sure. If your insurance doesn't have any stipulations as to how many you're allowed etc. It shouldn't be a problem. They should have that information in your file.
CP 7.19.08
Dx with PCOS 3.27.09
HSG 7.15.09 = All clear

10.09 IUI #1/2 - Clomid 100mg Follistim 150iu Ovidrel Crinone 8%=BFP!
22mm Follie / 60mil & 48mil post wash counts Beta #1 (14dpiui)= 102 Beta #2 (18dpiui)= 714 12.3.09 HB 135bpm

HSG 2.2013 - IUI 1/2, 3/4 = BFN - Took 4 month forced break
Since you did have a m/c, I'd request one at first appt. At this point, you should be able to hear the h/b, or at lease see it on u/s, we did see/hear both! GL
And CONGRATS

It's Beshert
ditto Jackie + a huge congrats to y ou!!!
No advice, but I wanted to say congrats! And I'm praying that it's a sticky baby!!
Congrats and lots of sticky baby dust to you!!!
I think it depends on the OB. The first OB I called for an appointment with wouldn't even see me until 11 weeks (I never ended up seeing him). My first appointment with Dr. K was at 6 weeks and I got an u/s and heard the heartbeat through the u/s machine (it was too early for the doppler). At the second appt at 10-11 weeks, we heard the h/b through the doppler. I would just call and discuss your experience and your wishes for an u/s.
I don't think you can see the heartbeat until after 8 weeks and hear it until even later. But I think your doctor can check your blood and HCG Levels to see if the pregnancy is growing according to plan.
Congrats to you!!! Sending you LOTS of sticky baby dust.
This exactly. & CONGRATULATIONS!!! I would just be honest and tell them what happened last time and your reason for wanting an ultrasound or at least a doppler to ensure that there is, in fact, a heartbeat. I had an internal done at 10 weeks to for measurement purposes, so that might be an option too.
H&H9M to you
1st off congrats!
2nd...with mady heard the heart beat at 8 wks...with baby #2 the same. why not schedule an appt until around that time, unless you want him to check for a sac with a transvag u/s if that would make you feel better.
