My appointment today is just a nurse appointment to basically get me set up in the system, go over my pregnancy and health history, go over the do's and don'ts of pregnancy and to schedule my sono. I have Kaiser so they have this system in place. I'll also get to talk about things like getting set up with a perinatologist and everything else I'll have to think about since I'm high risk (auto immune thyroid disease.) But when it comes time to set up the sono I'm definitely going to push for sooner rather than later and I'll stress the fact that I've had two MMCs that I didn't find out about until my first sonos, so this wait is killing me.

Glad you'll be getting a second opinion on everything with your old MFM, the safer the better! You can never be too careful, especially after a loss!

 

[Krippy]

MrsMcD123...what kind of auto immune thyroid disease do you have? I am waiting on tests on February 1st to see if I have Graves or if I developed post partum thyroidits after RJ was born. Would love to hear your story...Congrats on your pregnancy!

 

[sunkiss]

aww i hope they can give u a sono really soon, all this waiting is driving me crazy, i literally couldnt take it anymore so i know how u feel!! yea my nurse visit is next week also with my old doc office, they do it that way too, go over all the history n such, even though i was with them before they said its a new pregnancy so still have to go through the same steps from scratch, only lucky thing is, the nurse can order a dating scan sono and because everything is in the same loc (which i love) i get to do it on the same day..hope all goes well on ur appt

 

[sunkiss]

Krippy i am so sorry for ur loss, my heart goes out to u

Oh you poor thing. Motion sickness might have gotten you. Yucky!! Hope you feel better soon.

Kirpy so sad to read of your loss.
Lots of love xxx

They cancelled my appointment!!! The nurse called in sick and now they can't get me in until Monday, I'm SO UPSET. I'm going to call the nurse tomorrow and see if she will schedule my sono so I don't have to wait until Monday to schedule it. I am soo not happy As a consolation I went in to the lab to get my HCG checked again. I know at this point the doubling time is different so I'll calculate what it should be based on that...

Krippy, I have Hashimoto's. I'm not sure what tests they do for Graves but in my case, they tested to see if I had thyroid peroxidase antibodies, then I went in for an ultrasound of my thyroid to check for nodules. I have lots of small nodules and one that is 1cm so they had to biopsy it but it came back okay so now I'm just on levothyroxine to keep my TSH in the good zone. Good luck with your tests, let me know how it goes!

 

[Crownjewelz]

OHHHHH NOOOOOO!!!!! I'm so sorry MrsMcD123. I cant imagine how bummed you are right now. I hope they can get you in today to get you a sono.

 

[c1403]

How poo.

Just spoke to a friend of mine who is pregnant, she said the Dr doesnt even acknowledge your call (when you say your pregnant) and just gives to a website to go on and you fill in your details and then the midwife emails you your appointment...how crappy is that?

We pay loads in national insurance in the UK (well i do as i work) and we dont even get seen by a professional until 10 weeks....sucks big time

Guess im on a bit of a rant, still calling the dr tomorrow anyway lol

How annoying...still Monday is not too far away x

 

[Krippy]

Thanks MrsMcD123...Appreciate you sharing your story! So crappy that your appointment got cancelled. I can imagine how anxious you are to have your first sono. I will be considered high risk as well if I get pregnant soon! Good luck to you!

Thank you all for your thoughts and kind words. It means a lot to have so many amazing women on my side. I hope to be joining you all soon and be pregnant with my rainbow!

 

[Crownjewelz]

Krippy we would love to have you on this thread. There are lots of us on here who have had angel babies and that are high risk. Good luck to you and hope you get your BFP very soon so you can come join us.

 

[Krippy]

c1403...It is the same in Canada. You only see your dr. until 10 weeks unless you are high risk. I will be seeing my OBGYN @ 6 weeks for a dating scan and then every month appointments with him and my maternity GP. I also will be seeing an endocrinologist. I understand that everyone can't be considered high risk but it really is lame that you have to have something traumatic happen to you to get the attention you want and sometimes need.

Thank you all for the warm welcome...I hope that I will have a success story to post by the end of the weekend!

Sunkiss congrats on seeing a healthy beanlet how exciting!! And MrsMcD, how annoying that your appointment got canceled!! It's funny, I was supposed to go in today too for an information session (I guess it might be the equivalent of the first MW visit for you ladies in the UK?) and yesterday they called to say the NP had gone on maternity leave. Oh well. Five days until my scan!!

Welcome Krippy, hope you get that BFP really soon. So sorry for your loss.

 

[sunkiss]

awwww MrsMcD123!! sorry hunny, i am pissed for u

try ur best to hold on, i know saying it is easier though woosah, i would def call the clinic up in the morn and ask for a sono, let them know ur concerns especially with previous losses and u just need to be reassured that everything is okay...medical folks should empathize with ur emotions at least and grant u that!

cant wait to have u join us Krippy, i hope this is ur mth, are u actively trying now? remember angel mommies are very special, because we were chosen by God to give him angels

Just got my blood work results. Looks like I'm going back in on Friday to do yet another check. My levels were at 1620 today. Still rising but not as fast as they would like them to. So frustrating to not know what is going on in there. Makes me wanna go mad crazy.

 

[Krippy]

This is the first month that we are actively trying. We had to wait a bit as I had an overactive thyroid after RJ was born. I do get ovulation pain and that is how we got pregnant with RJ the first time we tried. Hoping it is that easy again but also want to be realistic. Would be a blessing to be pregnant so soon after our loss.

I agree with how special we all are. It takes an amazing person with unknown amounts of strength to go what we all have been through and still be standing with pride and hope. I have to say that I have stalked your thread for a while and I am so happy for all of you and your happy stories!

This whole process is soooooo unnerving! When is your next scan? Since you have the clotting disorder, do they have you on injectable blood thinners?
