Hi girls,
Hubby and I have been ttc for 10 months, and finally have succeeded! I have gotten lots of BFPs over the weekend (I think I'm 4 weeks as I ovulated 2 weeks ago), and I was so excited to call my gyno this morning. They said I don't come in to check anything out right now, just come for first appt. at 8-10 weeks! I totally thought they were going to do a quantitative HCG to verify, or even two to confirm it's not ectopic. Not to mention I have tons of questions about which face soaps, deodorants, etc. are safe to use, whether it's ok to exercise, intercourse, etc. So now I feel like crying that they are leaving me on my own for the first 8 weeks, which are very critical times in baby's development! Maybe I'm just getting worked up because it's my first, and I don't know anything about being pregnant. I'm wondering if this is normal of gynos in the US or should I try to get on with another one who will go ahead and see me right away?
Thanks!
