New to Pregnancy Qs...

in February 2012 Moms

I called my OB yesterday to announce my BFP and she made an appointment for me to see her on June 21st... so here are my questions:

Is it normal to not have b/w done to confirm the BFP?  I hear a lot about Betas, but she mentioned not needing to see me until June 21.

What can I expect on the 21st?

Taking Charge of Your Fertility was my TTC Bible. What do you suggest for the next phase?

I'm cramping and have a backache that goes and comes... no spotting or anything.  Does that all sound right?

    Try What to Expect When You're Expecting.  Also, DH and I have picked up the book Pregnancy Day by Day, which is pretty awesome...it shows you what your embryo is doing everyday.

    It is normal not to have betas done.  I think only people who are high risk have them done.  Most people don't have a first appointment until around 8 weeks.  

    I had cramping for most of this week (I was 3 weeks and 4 days on Monday).  The backache sounds normal too.  How far along are you?

    Becky's book suggestions sound good.  I might have to go find the Day by Day book!

    usually betas are only done if there is IF issues or history of cp, misscarriages ect.

    What to expect when your excpeting is a good read.

    cramping and backache is normal, mine just started easing up the last couple of days...

    Is it normal to not have b/w done to confirm the BFP?  I hear a lot about Betas, but she mentioned not needing to see me until June 21.  Yes completely normal.  People who get betas often were getting fertility treatment or have a history of m/c.  Most OBs will meet with you between 8-10 weeks.  Some meet earlier around 6 weeks (mine does) if you would like it.

    What can I expect on the 21st? If it is like my appt they do a confirmation pee test, pap, and short check in. 

    Taking Charge of Your Fertility was my TTC Bible. What do you suggest for the next phase?  I read what to expect when you are expecting when I was pregnant with DS.  It's okay.

    I'm cramping and have a backache that goes and comes... no spotting or anything.  Does that all sound right?  Yup.  I have cramps alot too.

    I have low backpain and cramping too and read that this is part of the "implantation" process where the little cells are implanting into our uterus at the very very beginging 5 weeks and less I think part of the pregnancy.  Does anyone else know about this?
