First Dr. Appointment

Today I met with an actual OB for the first time to go over my meds that I am on and what the next steps should be. I was lucky to get one that is practically next door and in the physicians building attached the the hospital. I of course googled him and found a few physician review sites that had reviews and all had 5 stars. Doesn't necessarily mean he is what I want but my first impression was a good one. He listened to what I had to say and the explanination of what I am taking and then let me ask a bunch more questions before leaving. I have an appointmetn on the 25th to do our first ultrasound and then have time to go over all my questions so I can decide if I want him as my main OB or if I need to start the hunt over. Hopefully I won't and this will be one of the first simple things I will have to do in getting pregnant. It is pretty fun to write and say that I am pregnant it doesn't really feel real kinda pretend like. I am sure it will sink in once I actually have a tummy. I can't wait!!

Second Beta

I got the results of Saturday's beta test and it was 162!!!! It is viable so far and more than doubled!!! I can relax a little now and try to enjoy the next few weeks before an ultrasound to see a heartbeat. I am going in to see one of the OB's tomorrow morning to go over everything and make sure I am on track.

Second Beta Wait

Inbetween my beta tests I have been having some bright red blood spotting for one full day and then half a day. Today I have not had any spotting what so ever which makes me feel better. Every morning I have been taking a pregnancy test to give myself some comfort that I am still pregnant. I will get my second beta results on Monday when the doctor's office is open again. It is really irritating that the lab won't just give me the nuber but oh no that would be interpreting the results!! How ridiculous!!

First Beta

So today was my first beta test and it came back positive with a Beta of 70. I will retest on Saturday and hopeufully they will double!! I am cautiously optimistic about the whole thing at the moment. Last night and today I have had brownish discharge which I haven't had before. I am not too worried about that as I have read that this can be a sign of implantation and nothing to really worry about. So I will go with that theory for now!!!
