no appt til 8 weeks
I don't understand how so many doctors will see you at like 6 weeks and mine won't until 8 weeks. Ugh, this is my 2nd pregnancy and I swtiched OB's. BOTH docs won't see us earlier than that...boooooooo. I want to hear and see my baby!!

Re: no appt til 8 weeks
I know it's hard but honestly at 8 weeks is when you hear and see the heartbeat. Many girls go earlier and get so nervous when they don't hear a HB (naturally) but in reality their beans are very healthy and have strong HB's by the 8 week mark!
Good luck and congrats

I didn't have an OB before (we just moved to another state a year ago) and the new doctor wouldn't see me until they thought I was at least 8 weeks. They just say it isn't necessary.
I know how frustrating it is and how badly you want to see what's going on in there, but it's totally worth the wait!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck!

Re: no appt til 8 weeks
alot of drs wont see you before 8 weeks unless you're high risk. I know for me, the only reason why I've been having so many sonos so early is bc I've had 2 m/cs and they're monitoring me very closely this time around.
Hang in there

Re: no appt til 8 weeks
Mine wouldn't see me until then either.
There isn't much they can see or do any earlier than that.

I agree. My dr had me come in a 5 weeks. He thought I was further along than I was (I knew better--I was tracking O). We saw nothing but a teeny yolk sac. He said I could come back a week later to see if there was a HB, but I actually opted to wait until 8 weeks. I was afraid it would still be too early and I'd be nervous/crushed if we didn't see anything.

Re: no appt til 8 weeks
My OB said between 7 & 8. I go on the 27th which (to my calculations) will be 7w1d.
I'm hoping that everything will be fine and that when I'm there and I see something it'll ease some of my worries!!
But I know how hard it is!!!
Good Luck!

Re: no appt til 8 weeks
I know it seems like a long wait, but you're better off waiting until 8 weeks- unless there is a medical condition that would require you seeing a doctor before then. So many girls get earlier sonos (not counting those with an RE appt) and when there is nothing there, they are worried and then a week or so later, everything is fine. Hope the weeks go by quickly for you!

Re: no appt til 8 weeks
mine saw me at 6 but wouldn't do a sono or anything, I just peed in a cup & got vitamins. I didn't have a real visit until 8 weeks.

Re: no appt til 8 weeks
Wed will be 4 weeks for me (I found out early because I have 23 day cycles)....My dr has me coming in tomorrow to meet with a nurse practioner to do blood work and a urine test. I then go back on the 8 week mark (in September) and meet with the dr for the first time. I'm glad they have me coming in tomorrow because I have so many questions. Although I'm sure you girls could answer them all for me! lol

Re: no appt til 8 weeks
mine wouldnt see me until 8-10 weeks. and then when i finally got an appt, i was over 11 weeks and they were all F*** dumfounded why i was there so late and had to rush me through all those first round of important tests. 
I think standard though is 8 weeks for the first visit...even though its freaking torture!!
