I have my 1st appt tomorrow, I'm so super nervous. Had my first blood draw about a week and a half ago and was put in progesterone since my levels were low, dr said HCG was low but she said it was to be expected since I was so early (4w3d). Hoping to get to see the little bean tomorrow!
I ended up going today as a walk in. I woke up with some pink and brown spotting and the on call Dr said to go to the ER. I waited for my drs office to open and was seen right away. By the time I saw the Dr, the bleeding had stopped and the ultrasound looked fine she said. I have another appt next week. I just got up from my nap, and the spotting has started again. I think I'm just going to keep an eye on it this time as it's not bright red or a lot. What do y'all think?
@ashley2824 Good luck tomorrow! Make sure to update us @eeyorefan215 Trust your doctor and the u/s. Spotting can happen. Next week will be here before you know it!
I am under the care of an RE so I have had ultrasounds and bloodwork done since my in-office BFP blood test on 12/27. My last appointment was last Friday and my next is this Friday, 1/13, which is the longest I have waited between appointments! Hoping to see a bigger gestational sac and a yolk sac this week!

I ended up having my first appointment today. I called this morning as I had been having some pretty painful cramping. I wasn't bleeding, but something didn't feel right. Luckily, I was proven wrong during my first ultrasound! Got to see the little heart beat. I am such a worrier so that made me feel a lot better... for now anyways... I'm sure I'll find something new to worry about soon enough!
@ellemnop90 I am having the same thing! (Sorry I haven't introduced myself yet. I've been lurking until my first appointment) but after seeing your comment it's calming me a bit. I've had cramping on and off and last night it got really bad. I moved my first appointment up to today. FTM jitters!!! How far along are you?
@SSminnow426 I feel ya, I'm driving myself nuts with FTM jitters! I'm about 6+4 or so. I have been cramping on and off since Sat night with cramps that feel just like menstrual cramps, which I usually don't even get that many during that time of the month. Just when I feel like they are going away I have another!
@sableeg And now I'm dying to know which OB you see.. I bet you we go to the same office. I'm so amazed at this possibility! How was your appt this week?

@Sugargirl1019 I go to an office near Texas Health Presbyterian in FM.... How funny would that be? Actually, I met my Texas best friend through TheBump during our last pregnancies.
Just blood work this week. I'm hoping to get yesterday's results soon! FX for growing numbers!

Addendum - got my labs back! Numbers are growing appropriately! Maybe this might start feeling a little real...now I just have to wait for 1/24 for the ultrasounds. Grant me the serenity to not drive myself nuts with anxiety until that appointment!

Last nights appt was with the nurse to go over everything. I posted my appt info in PGAL post so hope you don't mind a repeat since not everyone checks that post...
So I had my Initial appt with the nurse at my OBGYN and it was just to go over the paperwork and what to expect. So I didn't get to see a dr or an ultrasound . But I did find out my progesterone level was 9.9 which I know is pretty low. With my 2nd PG it was 12 something and they put me on crinone. Getting more bloodwork today which the nurse said they prob won't get the results until Monday. Ugh!! Then my first appt with the dr is at 9w on the 31st. TW: also she went over everything to expect from MFM, which was nice. Said since im getting the cell free DNA, I'll get the blood work and scan at MFM. They might want to do the anatomy scan and then they sometimes do two more scans at 28 weeks and 36 weeks. She wasn't positive how they would treat my pregnancy since so far this PG is good, I'm technically low risk but with my history (chromosomal abnormalities and loss with 2nd PG) they may want to treat me as high risk. So I'm anxious to meet with them.
@ellemnop90 everything went well! Said it was most likely gas plus a bit of cramping and scheduled us for our first ultrasound in two weeks! The doctor kind of laughed because I made him confirm that I was actually pregnant and wasn't just a false positive. He said if we would have gotten a negative with the urinalysis we wouldn't have put you through the blood test and exam lol. FX blood work comes back in good!!!!
@Sugargirl1019 OMG I love it! I will actually probably deliver at Lewisville since they have a higher rated NICU. After my last delivery, can't be too careful or too close to a good NICU! I'm so curious who your OB is...

had my second blood draw today and hcg numbers quadrupled from the monday draw! Went from 99 to 397! Feeling SO relieved and now I just need to wait for the first ultrasound on 2/1....feels so far away. They actually had an appt two days earlier but it would've been too hard juggling getting DD1 to school!
Re: Weekly Appointments 1/9
I have an endocrinologist appointment tomorrow. And an prenatal check up with my family doctor on Thursday.
