    Happy Birthday! I'm 39 and starting week 5. Nervous and not sure how I can wait till my first appt which dr didn't schedule until dec 3!!

    That seems really late for a first appt at our age. I learned through MC experience last year you have to push them and demand an appt for at least blood work to make sure levels are rising appropriately and then for a 6 week ultra sound. If they say no go to a different dr.

    I miscarried last year and it would have been way less painful I I had asked more questions and pushed them.

    Further more- if your progesterone is low, they can supplement earlier than 10 weeks which is when your first appt is.

    Push them. You have every right to !

    Good luck and yayyy for us!!! Happy 5 weeks ;)

    I just called dr again and they said even tho I'm 39 that they still don't need to see me until week 9/10 but call if anything doesn't seem right. I will be a ball of nerves till then. I think I'll also call my family dr :)

    Feeling a little better, my primary physician is seeing me on Nov 19 so at least I can get him to run some tests and check my thyroid before my Dec 3 OB appt.

    I am glad you called;) it's just good to know everything is going okay as you go along! It doesn't hurt them to do so - so why not give you peace of mind ;)
    Peace of mind is worth it!
