Yesterday I went for my first appointment and u/s, and everything is looking great! I was really worried, because right before I left for my appointment, I had a bit of red spotting. I was nearly in tears when I got there. Luckily I didn't have to wait very long to get in. I told my Dr what was going on as soon as he came in, so he did a quick external u/s to take a peek, before we went through all the regular prenatal stuff.. and sure enough, there was the little one! He later did an internal to get a better look, and to measure everything. I am actually measuring at 8w3d, where according to my ovulation date I should have been 7w6d. He told me that as long as I am within a week, it's perfectly normal. He also gave me a due date of March 30, and I was estimating April 6. He said everything is looking great so far, and he told me not to worry about the spotting, thant many women will have bleeding and spotting during the first trimester, and most of the time it's nothing. He really set my mind at ease about a lot of things, he's a very friendly and open Dr, very easy to talk to. I was nervous about getting a new Dr this time around, but I am glad I did!
He told me the next appointment would be in a month.... but when I went up to the receptionist, he followed me and told her to make the appointment for 2 weeks, for a quick u/s, to set my mind at ease, since I was so worried. I love my Dr!

Lin,
that is a great doc appt!
Oh Lin that's great! I'm so glad everything went well for you. I switched docs after my m/c in APril too and am sooooo glad I did -- my dr. is like yours and very caring and understanding. He's given me an u/s at 6.5, 7.5, and 8.5 weeks. I go in tomorrow for my visit with him and I'm hoping he'll let me have another sneak peek at the baby too since I'm so stressed out as I approach the time I m/c last time.
