I tested yesterday and I got my bfp! I am still really nervous about all the cramping that I am having (no bleeding so far).....in fact, I really was not expecting a positive result, but there it was! I guess my due date would be around May 6th....I don't have an appointment with the dr. until October 9th. I am curious if everything is ok though, the cramps can be so intense they woke me up several times last night. Do you think I can request a beta to see where I am? Thanks for any help.

Sandy - That is fantastic news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a clinic close by that you can go to to have a beta done? What about your regular Doctor, can they fax something somewhere to have it done? (Curious, where I am, I can go to a walk in clinic, get the requisition and go to the nearest lab to have it done).

I am SO happy for you.

I'm due on cinco de mayo.

Do you have an OB? You're in the high risk group with the rest of us, so you should see someone soon, not wait as if you were 20yrs old and healthy as a horse. (although i really do hope you are as healthy as a horse) Some cramping is ok, but only your dr. can tell you what's ok, and what's not. I'm taking progesterone (prometrium), and you might want to ask about that.

I'm really glad that you'll be with me on the Due in May board. I still haven't checked it out yet.

Hey ladies......thanks for responding. I know, it seems weird to me that they aren't seeing me sooner, especially since I miscarried last time around. But they are like, it's customary for us not to schedule the first visit until 8-10 weeks. I asked about progesterone last time and they said it wasn't something they generally recommended, althought it was the cream I asked about. Now I'm beginning to wonder if I should make a bit of a fuss about being seen sooner than October 9th. I scheduled the appointment with the receptionist, and I wonder if there is clear communication within the office....about me being high risk, etc. Thanks for the advice. I'll see ya in Due in May....I've been over there for a while and everyone seems lively and nice!
