First appointment

Well, today we had our intake appointment for OB care. She asked a bunch of questions about our medical history, gave us lots of information to read, took a urine sample and tried to take 5 vials of blood. Unfortunately I didn't know they were taking blood so I wasn't well hydrated and I am a tough stick anyways so we weren't successful with that. I have to go back later in the week to the hospital lab to try again.

Good news is that our first ultrasound is going to be next Wednesday! I had to argue with the nurse today who tried to tell me that I was 9 weeks along based on my LMP. I said no I am more like 7 weeks based on how irregular my cycles are. I guess we will find out next week for sure!

  • Well it also hurt me that I vomited this morning too so any fluid I drank before that point was gone. I'm supposed to give my veins a few days to heal, then drink lots of water and try the hospital lab. I always hate getting my blood drawn! The last time I had it drawn at the hospital they got it no problem so I'll keep my FX for that! I'm thinking of trying again on Friday maybe.

  • Glad to hear the appt went well minus the B/W. Hopefully she didn't try to stick you too many times.... Ouchers!

  • I swear, this was my exact experience about a month ago (although I knew about the blood because this is my second time around). I was 6 weeks, but they expected me to be 8 weeks. I just got an extra dating ultrasound out of it.

  • Glad it went well! I lied any told everyone that my LMP was 2 weeks later than it was since I O'd on CD30. Saved me a speech!

    I O'ed around CD 30 too...I guess I should probably take this route too. I'm not exactly sure what day I O'ed though so hopefully the dating ultrasound will clear all that up and give us an exact date to go by!
