First OB appt update :)

in Pregnant after 35

Everything went great, I love the Dr.s office, very smooth running operation and the OB is a little firecracker, I like that and she patiently answered my 50 questions, so now onto the important stuff. LO is measuring 8wks 6 days w/ a hb of 184! Dr. said she's very confident our m/c risk is very low at this point, it looks like a super healthy embryo. We discussed my first m/c and after reviewing my info she attributed it to the CVS as well, so she doesn't consider me high risk at all but will do a cervical check at 16wks for the hell of it.

Got referrals for the NT and the Matern21 test, she suggested the Matern21 because she thinks my age will automatically skew the NT and the other screening tests anyway. It's worth it to me even if I have to pay OP for it.

So that's about it, I'm a pretty happy momma right now!

    Sounds like everything is progressing beautifully. Sooooo happy for you! 
    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.
