6 week 1st appt.

I went ahead and called to make my first appt. today and they didn't ask for my last menstrual cycle or anything they just picked a day and asked if I could come in. My appt. is for the 3rd and I will only be like 6 weeks and 2 or 3 days (by my calculations)...they tried to get me in earlier but I was going to be out of town. Is that strange? I asked how soon they usually wanted ladies to come in after a positive test and they said they just take them when then can when they call.  I will be with a nurse practitioner so I am expecting just to pee in a cup, get an estimated due date from my last period date, and maybe some bloodwork and give some history. Does this sound about right? I guess they will probably schedule me for a pelvic exam and maybe ultrasound a little later on?

I feel like I have been posting like crazy but I guess I am just nervous and excited and don't have much else to do cause of the holiday except obsess! Sorry!

    My first appointment was at 5 weeks and scheduled just like yours. I had a pap, breast exam, and and transvaginal ultrasound. Good luck

    My office likes to schedule at 8 weeks, but I had my "welcome" appointment today.

    I met with an NP and I had a pap, blood work/glucose test, ultrasound (but that's because of some other issues) and a lot of health history given. 

    They also gave me a binder with prenatal screening info, birthing classes, a pamphlet on the birthing center, things to avoid, important numbers, etc. 

     Yours will probably be similar!

    My dr. said the same thing to me. They just get people in as soon as they can. I have gathered it is just different with different doctors. I'm just happy I'm not having to wait until 8 weeks or something like that! Congrats!

    I found out on Saturday that I was pregnant and called first thing this morning. I am 6 weeks. The nurse at my doctors said they normally don't schedule until 8 weeks, but couldn't get me an appointment until January 18th, which will put me at 10 weeks and 3 days... I feel that is too late, still 4 weeks away!

    I am going to the doctor for the first time this Wednesday and I will be 6w2d. I am meeting with the nurse...going over history, probably per in a cup, set up labs and my physical, I am hoping they will set up an ultrasound but sounds unlikely. Sounds like yours will be similar to my appointment. Good luck!
