9 weeks and no US?

Well, I had my first appointment today. I feel a little let down because they just gave me more paperwork and took about 6 vials of blood. Tricare only gives two ultrasounds one at 11 weeks and one at 20 so I guess it is just a waiting game now.

    It's normal, and you're lucky that you're getting one at 11 weeks. Tricare used to only cover one u/s.

    I hope your wait goes by fast. It can be hard listening to all the wonderful u/s stories and seeing all the cute pics on our Board but everyone is right, this is completely normal to have to wait until around 12 weeks (that's when my first u/s is scheduled). Some ladies don't even get one until 18-20 weeks and their wait must seem like forever Sad

    OP, like you, I was worried a few weeks ago because I felt like the only person who hasn't had an ultrasound yet. I still haven't had one, but am going in for my first tomorrow. If you are getting one at 11 weeks, you only have two more to go. Hang in there!

    I'm also on Tricare, but using a birth center.  I will have one u/s at 20 weeks and that is it unless something is wrong.  I'd rather just have the one u/s than need others because something is not right you know? 

    Oh and my first appt isn't even until next week at almost 10 weeks.  :) 

    The wait at the beginning seems like forever, but it really does fly by at the end.

    Thank you for the encouraging words girls. I don't mean to sound like a brat, I guess I am just jealous of all you wonderful ladies with US. I have been blessed with few symptoms so I am one of those that it will be 'real' when I can hear the heart beat.

    Well hopefully they don't charge me for the US I had a couple weeks ago. I have tricare, and my doctor did an US at the first appointment saying tricare should cover it because I "went to the doctor due to an absence of a menstrual period" and they need to know why lol.

    We wouldn't get an ultra sound until 18-20 weeks if we did not opt for the first trimester screen.  They would of course check the heart beat at 12 weeks.  It's normal and I'm sure the 2 weeks will fly by!
