Can't wait to see what your numbers are! You need a u/s already!! That would tell you for sure if there's two in there.

I just ralized i figured my current dpo wrong lol my numbers will only be around 7096 This is what I came up with:

15dpo. 887
17dpo. 1774
21dpo. 3548
25dpo. 7096

 

[mailcmm]

Now that is at standard time and the lowest that I think they will be. They could be way higher. Lower is not acceptable because if nothing else we are doubling away. Ii won't accept any not doubling nonsense this time.

I know if they don't give me one I will scream. I may drive straight to the ER and cry I am in pain lol. I know I may only see a sac or two lol but I want to see something.

Morning gals,

Had dr appointment yesterday at 10:30. He did an internal and said all looked and felt great. He did say that my uterus felt more like end of August rather than beginning of September. Either way--all was well. He wrote an order for the early pregnancy scan and said to demand it be done this week. So, I called as soon as I got back in the car and didn't have any problem this time (they could probably see the order in the system). They got me in at 1:15!!!

Had u/s and everything looks great! The sacs are right where they should be... Yep, I said "sacs" plural!!! Twins!!!

Now, we are just doubly nervous!!! But also doubly excited!

Thus such lovely news im wishing you all the luck in the world wow to babies to hold at the end thats scary but exciting

 

[mailcmm]

Menb... Did you get a picture?

 

[moter98]

ok mail, now i'm getting impatient to find out your numbers. if they are really high, do you think that would convince the drs to check if there may be two beans in there?

 

[Twinkie210]

mail- don't freak out if they aren't as high as you think, your doubling time should start to slow down (I think around 1,200-1,500)...

moter- I wish I could blame it on exercising, but I definately don't exercise enough! I have lost a bunch of weight (I was up to 154 when I got pregnant and have since dropped down to 128 and I am still losing), but none of it is because of too much exercising. I feel good that I am a healthy weight now (I am 5'3"), which I had hoped would help my cycles, but it doesn't seem to yet...

menb- what a cute way to tell your hubby!

 

[mailcmm]

I don't know? Tomorrow is my firs apt. I'll get bloodwork and an internal exam etc etc. the lab girl had told me they don't do us til 12 weeks as not to scare you. I am gonna tell them how stressed I am and ask for one. I may demand one. Lol my apt is at 9am tomorrow. I am so nervous

Yeah I figured my numbers based on them slowing down I always figure them at the longest of the norm and try to remember that they may only increase by 60%. Which is considered normal.

 

[moter98]

Twinkie- maybe your body is still regulating yet from the weight loss. I'm 5'3" too! My whole family is short except one brother. He's over 6'. We joke he was adopted, lol!

Mail- sounds like it will be hard to get an ultrasound. I believe with ds they didn't even want to see me until 13 weeks. It was a long time I know that. I thought it was weird cause you can supposedly do a lot of harm to baby in first trimester. I guess you are just supposed to know all the things you aren't todo during pregnancy.

 

[Twinkie210]

I don't think so, the short LP started way before the weight loss. I think I am giving up trying to explain my symptoms. I just hope I can get pregnant despite them!

mail- I can't believe that your Dr. wouldn't do an U/S given your MC, I would ask for one. My Dr. already said he would do one!

moter- my Dr. doesn't see patients until 12/13 weeks either. I thought this was weird too, because although I have been through this once so I know what I should do/shouldn't do, what do first time mom's do? Some women may not even know to get prenatal vitamins!

 

[mailcmm]

Well that's just what the lab said. I haven't spoken to a dr yet. So really don't know what will happen tomorrow. I am seeing the midwife. Hopefully she will be understanding.

 

[mailcmm]

We are all short in my family except for my brother. But he's 6'10 lol my little bro is 20" taller then my. It's ridiculous.

 

[moter98]

Oh wow mail. He is TALL! Maybe dr will give you u/s tomorrow. You never know.

Twinkie- im all out of google ideas, lol! Hope your lp goes back to your 10+ days this cycle.

 

[mailcmm]

That's crazy that the drs don't see you until then. I get seen but apparently not an us. My old dr see patients at 8wks. Still a long time

 

[moter98]

You would think they woul at least send you literature on what to do/not to do. Im curious to see what they will do for my next pregnancy. Really hoping they will at least do the quants. I may make up symptoms to get it if i have to,lol!

 

[mailcmm]

That's what I am thinking of doing. Lol it's sad that that is what we need to do to get medical care. Lol

 

[moter98]

I know right. What does it matter, we are paying for it.

 

[mailcmm]

Exactly! It makes me so damn mad.
