!st OB Appointment

We arrived at the first appointment at 2:00pm. A half hour early, in order to fill out paperwork. We didn't even get called in until 3 pm. (a LONG wait when you have a 1 year old in tow!) It was terrible.

The first stop after getting called in, was the bathroom... to pee in a cup to test for pregnancy and a UTI (I had thought I had one so I added that in.) After waiting a few moments, the nurse walked out and said, " You have a UTI and your not pregnant." I was like WTF?!?! I have told everyone... I've taken like 3 tests that all have lines! and the digital! They can't all be wrong!

She took me into a room to get my weight and bloodpressure... putting the forms with my pregnancy test on it down. And low and behold what is on the test?!?! A SECOND LINE! I mentioned it to her and she freaked out! She felt terrible that she hadn't waited the full time to see if a line had presented itself! I was sort of mad but more relieved that I was really indeed pregnant!

We do all of the questions and whatnot, and then meet the doctor. First of all, she old. and when I say old, I mean REALLY OLD. Like 70. Her hands are all knotted and arthretic... how is she suppose to check me? Anyways, she was pretty nice and agreed that my test had become rather dark while it sat there. So as shes about to leave, the nurse brings up Mike whatever with the dog fighting... and they start cussing... IN FRONT OF CADEN! I mean I'm not super upset at the cussing, because I can't say that I havent. But how unprofessional?!?!

Anyways, Since I didn't know the exact date of my last period she ordered an ultrasound to date the pregnancy. Only when I got in there, they couldn't really see anything... meaning I was probably to early. She thought she MIGHT see a sac but couldn't even get the machine to measure it. (She also showed me were I had a cyst on my ovary and where one had popped!?!?! Had no clue about them!)

So they decided to draw my betas. Had the blood drawn and went home.

The next morning, the office called me with my first beta of 61. The nurse made it sound terrible. And asked me to come back in Monday for another blood draw. She said that I was either REALLY early in my pregnancy or the numbers are on their way down and I'm miscarrying. So I was extremely upset of course.

But the more I think about it, I think that I'm just REALLY early in my pregnancy. Thinking about it, I just got the positive. Wouldn't I have gotten a positive earlier than this if my numbers had already grown and were coming down but still at 61? Also, when I was talking to my darling JM girls they talked about taking a test one day and then two days later taking another to see if they're getting darker (meaning my numbers are still increasing).

Well I took one yesterday, and then impatiently took another today and it was ALREADY darker! So I'm feeling TONS better. I'm hoping that on Monday my numbers are GREAT!

(my two tests...)
