@Nicki2525 PGAL is my sanity thread....I get grounded here. @sarahjean177 5 weeks is better than 4! Keep on growing embryo!
Just want to add, I freaked out about not having symptoms, and when I did they were pretty short lived. Can't stress enough that symptoms are no indication of how well a PG is going! I worried about this so much and finally my midwife knocked some sense into me. She told me to STOP THINKING ABOUT SYMPTOMS! SO let's not try to stress about the symptoms. It's a losing battle.
@justsuzie Yes! I didn't have a lot of symptoms with my successful pregnancy with DS. I was sick twice - that's it. But I also felt just as good with my loss, so I still freak out inside. It's a constant battle of logic vs. emotion.
I spoke with the nurse this morning. The doc is happy with the U/S results. They'll do a repeat on 10/12 and make sure growth is on track. I also reanalyzed all of my FF data. I was not temping that cycle so I can't say for sure when I ovulated but I believe I ovulated on CD30 or 31. We had sex on CD27. I am basing that on my avg O day over 17 recorded cycles so I'm pretty sure on that. If that's the case then we either found out 8 or 9dpo. I figure that combined with an U/S being off by just a bit and I'm closer to 6w6d rather than 7w3d. Since the doc is really happy I think I'm feeling a little better. I'll still be a mess until the next scan when I can see growth but right now my Bean has a HB and is nestled in good.
Oh and the scheduler wanted to change my appointment with my doc. I have it set for 10/24. They wanted to move it out because I won't be 12w. I said no. I told her there is no way I'm moving it. I will want an NT scan at 12w and I'm not willing to move it out. She acted a little annoyed but I get to decide my own patient care. I told her with my loss history and my current situation it just wasn't going to happen. I will not feel comfortable with this pregnancy until I can hear a HB on my doppler at home and feel this baby move. Until then I will do what I need to do to feel good about this pregnancy. Part of that is being seen regularly by my doc. If I have to be that annoying patient then so what? It's not about them. It's about me and this baby.
@sparkymcgeee Did you want to go in before 10/12 or are you okay with waiting? Do what makes you feel comfortable. If your doctor is happy and so are you then ride that feeling of comfort.

10/12 is the repeat U/S. Going in before that is silly to me. It's two weeks from now so it make sense. What I wasn't okay with is pushing out my already established appointment with my doc because I won't be 12w on 10/24. So I told her no. I don't care if I'm only 11 weeks.

They wanted me in every week! I had to push for 12 weeks and we compromised at 10. So I don't know if I will go back again at 12 weeks? They said the 10 week appointment is the long one.
@sparkymcgeee, so glad you're feeling better about the dates! And good for you for standing up for your own care. We pay boat loads of money to doctors and it's not like you don't have valid reasons to be seen earlier.
@justsuzie Needed that advice. Nausea has been better the last couple days so I'm freaking TF out. No indications anything is wrong either but naturally I'm convinced I should be miserable 24/7 in order to have a healthy embryo. I'm BSC.
