So... I took a leap of faith in an effort to have something to look forward to and not have to just sit and stew while waiting for my tests to darken. I called the OB's office and scheduled my first appt. They tried to schedule me sooner, which I soooooo wanted, but I know myself and told her I needed it to be scheduled when we'd FOR SURE be able to see bean and HB because I know I'll panic if I don't. So, she suggested an appt a week later and said we should be able to see by then. My appt is set for the 17th (US calendar... I know some of the ppl on this board are a day ahead of US). I'm still not sure I'll be able to see everything as I'll be 5 weeks 6 days, but it beats 4 weeks 6 days' odds. My OB might be willing to do a second one if we can't see bean or HB, so I am trying not to worry too much. So if this bean is strong enough to hold on then I'll hopefully get to see my sweet pea in about 19 days.
I also asked for the nurse to call me back. I am going to request that she talk to my OB about possibly keeping an eye on my HCG levels in the meantime so I will (hopefully) be able to know bean is doing okay by watching my levels rise adequately, which would going a long way to comfort me. Plus I need to ask about prog. I was on it my last 2 pregs so I don't know if he'll put me back on right off or if he'll test my levels first. Kinda hoping he'll test first so I may not have to take it, but I'll do ANYTHING to get bean here safe and healthy. I'll post an update after she calls.
