I have my first on Thursday! Feeling good and hopeful but also eager to have it be here already. It's an ultrasound followed by an appointment with the doctor. Weirdly enough, my regular doctor is out on maternity leave, and the covering doctor is a man so I'm just a teeny bit uncomfortable with that, but there's not much I can do since it's just the two doctors in the office. I'm sure he's nice, it's just that I've never had a male physician, especially a male OB/GYN. DH will be with me and he's a lot more anxious than I am since the last time we were in the office together for an u/s with my first pregnancy, *TW* -- the u/s showed an empty gestational sac and my doctor gently told us to prepare for a miscarriage, which was probably as bad as any first ultrasound could go. So, obviously hoping this one goes a little bit better. I think I will be just a little over 6 weeks on Thursday so I'm crossing my fingers for a heartbeat!

My doctors do not do ultrasounds and full on appointments until you are over 8 weeks so I have to go in on Friday to get my blood drawn to confirm my pregnancy and do an intake evaluation to get everything rolling. Hoping all goes well with everyone's appointments this week!

I had beta #3 today and it way more than doubled from Friday (from 99-512) so I'm feeling confident. My TSH is elevated despite me starting an increased dosage a few weeks ago so my endo and RE are talking and I should hear back about that. I also have an appt on Friday for bloodwork and an ultrasound but I'll only be 5 weeks so Too early to see a heartbeat I think.
Intake appointment on Thursday. Blood work, history, and hopefully more clarification on if I'll be high risk and if I need to see a genetic counselor.
I had my ultrasound today and everything was great! Baby measured on point at 6.5 weeks and HB was 125. We got pictures and a video Next appointment is May 10th for genetic testing since I'm AMA.
I have my first appointment on Wednesday for an ultrasound and to talk to the doctor. I'll only be 5 weeks 2 days though so there probably will not be much to see. I don't know if this is going to make me feel better or worse. I'm hoping they will schedule me for another appointment next week too so we can see the heartbeat.
FX for great appointments for everyone who has one this week!
Had my first US today! I'm very early, 5w 5d, but because of previous MMC OB wanted me to come in early. Yolk sac and fetal pole were present, the baby is in the uterus and the tech actually pulled a HB! It was 93, but she said that they are lower in the early weeks and then gradually rise as the weeks go on. Hcg levels are also looking good, 2525 on thurs and doubled to over 5000 in 48 hrs. I'm so thankful that everything looks good so far- I've been a nervous wreck leading up to this!
I have blood work and ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday.... I guess the only thing to see would be gestational sac (sacs) but I honestly don't want to go.... just want to enjoy being pregnant and not hear any possible bad news ..... blah!
@peachy13 I have my six week apt on Thursday too. TW- I also had a bad first US. So fingers crossed for us that we both have a celebratory Thursday night.
@Marley629 congrats on great betas. I think you can begin to see hb as early as 5 weeks but it's also okay to see not much of anything. Good luck for a great apt.
@TigerCakes My advice to you is don't go in expecting anything and just be excited! I am a very anxious person and I went in hoping to see more and I was very upset afterwards even tho dr said it was normal to not see much at 5 weeks.
Afm I have an US on Thursday when I will be 6 weeks 1 day. I have super bad anxiety so my dr is giving me weekly US until later on. I swear the US pats just make my anxiety worse though. I also have a history of loss/ectopic so there is some reasoning to my worry. We already know this baby is in the uterus though so that is one positive. I am a huge worry wart and when we only saw a sac at 5 weeks I was devastated because I was expecting at least a yolk sac. Dr said it's perfectly normal but i can't help but worry. I also had some spotting yesterday hopefully due to doing the deed the day before but I always jump to the worst conclusion. I also have had no symptoms lately. Send me some positive vibes.
@CandyApple2012 Yeah...... trying to keep positive, but I guess I like to be honest too! After*tw several losses end tw* it's hard not to be practical and just the eeensiest bit pessimistic ahead of these appointments. And I'm a born "glass half empty" girl! But thank you!!
@justsuzie Definitely sending positive vibes! Stick baby stick! I'm super nervous about another MMC, so I get the anxiety going in for ultrasounds too. I won't have mine until May 1st though.
@justsuzie Thank you! I actually had an ultrasound at 5 weeks 1 day with my son and all they saw was the gestational sac and obviously that pregnancy turned out fine. ***TW*** Unfortunately, after having my loss I really just want to get further along so there's something to see! ***End TW*** FX everything goes well at your appointment!
I have my second ultrasound this Friday morning and have two blood tests this week. I have been spotting brown since last Tuesday, which has me freaked out. My blood tests last week were positive. The U/S I had last week only showed a Gestational Sac, no yolk sac, which has me worried. My LMP was Feb 26, which makes me 6 weeks +1 day. The time of my last u/s I would have been 5 weeks + 5 days. So nervous for these appointments. Praying this pregnancy is progressing and I have a growing baby in me!
@justsuzie sending positive vibes your way. I'm sure the spotting was due to the sex. I actually asked my doc about that today, and he said just to hold off for awhile to avoid undue anxiety. Many women do report spotting afterwards and especially having a history of loss its best just to play it safe. It isn't that sex isn't safe, it's more for peace of mind.
Called a new OB on Thursday and spoke with them today; due to *TW* my history of 2 very early losses *end TW* they wanted to get me in for betas ASAP, so we did that today. I'll go back next week, and then two weeks after to meet the doctor. So much waiting, but at least I'll know my numbers along the way! Hopefully the results come back tomorrow and look great. Sending good vibes everyone's way this week!
I had my second beta draw today and it almost tripled in 72 hours, so hopefully I'm fine until our first appointment with ultrasound in two weeks (I'll be about 6.5 weeks then).
Just had my first appointment today! I wasn't expecting to be 8 weeks 2 days based on my last period, but am actually only 6w2d. We saw and heard a heartbeat!
Yesterday I had my second blood draw and it looked great! So now I get to go to my first appointment on May 1st. I will also get an US to finally get a due date. It is hard not knowing when I am due!
I have my first appointment tomorrow morning. I'll only be 4 weeks 5 days so I hope I'll be able to see something on the ultrasound. With my last pregnancy I had the first ultrasound scheduled for 8 weeks but didn't make it that far. Also since I've been having no symptoms I kinda just want confirmation that this is real.
I'm 34, SO 39 TTC since July 2015 Unexplained infertility - delayed/weak ovulation but don't know why BFP Feb 2016 MC at 6.5 weeks Started Clomid November 2016 BFP March 2017 (third cycle on Clomid) HCG failed to rise, MC at 6 weeks. IUI July 2017 BFP which turned out to be CP IVF scheduled for Feb 2018
I have my intake appointment tomorrow and I'm excited yet nervous this is baby #2 and pregnancy #3 *TW my first pregnancy ended with a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks that my doctor didn't catch till 12 weeks when I had my first ultrasound end TW* I was very cautious with my second pregnancy DD is now 16 months old, experienced really bad preeclampsia with DD so I know they'll be watching for that too with this one. So excited for all of us good luck with appointments mommas!!!!!
I have an ultrasound tomorrow. I am nervous, but hopeful. My HCG level was almost 3000 a week ago, so we should be able to see a heartbeat by tomorrow. I am starting to feel a lot crapier so I am going to assume my levels are definitely rising which should be a good sign. Fingers crossed!
Momma to Amelia Marie (7/14) and Austin Samuel (11/17). Adding baby (girl) #3 on 7/21
I have an appointment in an hour. I had some brown spotting and my dr wants to do a viability scan. Hate those words, "viability scan". I am trying to stay optimistic but in my gut I feel like there is something wrong. Only time will tell I suppose. I also have no pg symptoms so that is worrying as well.
