16 week OB appt.

in Pregnant after IF

I had my 2nd OB appt today at 16 weeks.  I suppose all is okay.  It's so funny how  after all we've been though, all these weekly appointments, and injections, and pills, and treatments, and this and that... I walk in, they weigh me, take my b/p, pee in a cup, check the heartbeat and say "looks good, see you in a month."  I mean, it's great that everything is good and we're finished with all the treatments.  But it's just funny.

On the plus side, we got to schedule our a/s for March 6, the morning before my husband leaves the country for 8 weeks.  That way he gets to find out what our little peewee is before he leaves!  We were afraid he would miss the a/s.  I can't believe we find out in only 18 days!  (And that he leaves in only 18 days!)

TTC with PCOS since November 2009
IUI#1 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 3-7) = BFP, m/c
IUI#2 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 5-9) = BFN
IUI#3 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 3-7) = BFP!
beta #1 11/23 = 270, P4 = 75
beta #2 11/28 = 2055
Our daughter E was born 7/29/2012!
Surprise, our 2nd daughter P was born 5/22/14!

    It is so different from our RE appointments, huh?! I feel the same way when I go to the OB. I am so glad you are able to have the anatomy scan before your husband leaves. Have fun finding out baby's gender :)

    I love the "we can keep our pants on" part too!  I remember at the 16 week appointment her just telling me to have a seat and wait for the OB and I was like "what, I don't have to strip???" I had to at my 12 week because it was the first time I was seeing her and had to have my PAP, etc done.  I have to start again at my next appointment I think.  She just laughed and said "not until late in your third tri."

    I have said it many times ... the "routine" OB appointments sometimes feel like a waste of time.  I know they are important but sometimes I really wonder! LOL
