1st ob appt :/

So we went in for our first ob appointment today. The doctor was great, the office nice. They did an ultrasound, but I got some mixed messages. By my dates I'm supposed to be 7 weeks. By ultrasound the doctor said I'm closer to 5 weeks. They drew blood today to check the beta and said depending on the number determines if I just conceived later in my cycle (i can be irregular at times) or if it's early miscarriage. Either way they scheduled a repeat visit in 3 weeks. ugh....it's going to be a long couple of days (under the impression that no call back is good)....and then a loooong couple of weeks before we go back.

  • Ugh, that is such a long time to wait over something so stressful. :(  T&Ps to you that you just conceived a little later and all is well.
  • I hope everything turns out okay!  You'll be in my thoughts & prayers!

     

  • Hey! I feel your pain and am right there with you. I had my first appointment on Monday, and it didn't go well at all. I had an ultrasound in the office and the doctor said she couldn't really see much. Freaked me out! So she sent my for an ultrasound at a radiology office on Tuesday and the report came back that I am measuring 5 weeks instead of almost 9. Great. They said they could see a little fetal pole in the sac but that's it. So, she sent me for a beta today and another one on friday. Depending on how those turn out, I will have another ultrasound in 2 weeks.

    So seriously, I know how  you feel. It's gonna be a long few days waiting for the blood work and a long freaking 2 weeks!

    Let me know if you need to talk. T&Ps coming your way.

  • BTW, I would still call them about the beta. I plan to call about mine tomorrow. I never assume no news is good news.

  • T's & P's to both of you ladies ::hugs::
  • @Berbur,   I work in the ER at St. Joe's. needless to say....I tend to think on the more negative side of things, so trying to stay pretty positive with stuff at home.  I'm planning on calling tomorrow for my beta results too...and the rest of the labs too. curious on how it all came out.

  • I feel your pain. I charted so I was pretty sure I ovulated late in my cycle, and hence wouldn't be as far along if they went with the date of my last period. That said, it was still a little nerve wracking to hear that at the first ultrasound I was about a week and a half behind where they thought I'd be. I'm a natural worrier so that definitely played a factor. Of course, here I am 38 weeks pregnant and all is well. T & P's to you all!
