Congrats, you are definitely pregnant! I never spotted after DTD before until I got pregnant this time, I spotted at 5 weeks for about a day and again at 7 weeks for about a day. So I've gotten way too paranoid and we can do anything but that for now haha
As for your appt, I'm not entirely sure because I know it's different everywhere and my first appt at 5 weeks (pretty sure I was almost 6 weeks) was an ultrasound because of a previous early miscarriage. They may do more lab work and like you said go over family history and maybe pee in a cup haha. Early days of pregnancy are such a nerve racking time but you're not alone, pretty sure every pregnant woman has felt the same! just TRY to relax, take care of yourself and enjoy your pregnancy!!
Thanks a bunch hun. I'm trying not to over think, but I am. I was sooooo freaked out early this morning because my Testosterone level is at 80 ng/dL and the normal range is 14-53 ng/dL so I was a bit freaked out about that, but then I found this chart that showed me that my testosterone level is actually normal for where I'm at in my pregnancy. Then there was the big scare to me DHEAS test. The standard range for that is 99-340 mcg/dL...mine is 432!!! I was freaked out and kept conversing back and forth with my doctors nurse. The nurse ran it by the doctor and wrote to me what the doctor said after she looked at my chart. She seemed not to have any worries, and the nurse said if she was worried she would have ordered more lab work. I also read a couple things that said that if you're really stressed that it can raise your DHEAS level, and I have been stressed...beyond belief LOL.
My SO was calling me from the road late last night (he's a truck driver, working 3 weeks straight driving long distance then only gets 2 days off) anyway, he was being encouraging and telling me that everything will be ok, and how happy he is that he's going to be a dad. He's so excited and so is his family. As a matter of fact his family is already thinking up baby names, how sweet is that? I cried happy tears when I got the HCG results at 10 last night, seeing those set of numbers made me cry happy tears...I guess those hormones are already kicking in LOL.
Hoping your pregnancy is going good so far, and continues that way. Keep me posted!
