Dr Visit

After waiting an hour in the waiting room then 30 minutes in the exam room I finally got to talk with my Dr.  He was very pleased with my numbers. HCG was 599 and Progesterone was 18! I don't have to go on supplements!! I'm so happy. He sat and talked to me for over a half hour. If he wasn't so far away and only able to deliver at one hospital that is an hour drive from me I would keep him but I gotta find a closer Dr. and I really want to deliver at a certain hospital that he can't. (due to a lawsuit)

He set up an ultrasound for 6wks 5days and hopefully we will be able to see a heartbeat!!  He also wants to redo labs at that time to make sure that my Progesterone is holding steady. He said that my symptoms are excelent for where I am and way better than last time. He gave me a 7% chance of Miscarriage this time.

He went over all the vitamins that I need to be taking and I told him my prenatals have DHA in them but it needs to be at least 400mg for it to be effective my pills only have 228mg so I have to go get additional DHA pills. I need to take an additional folic acid pill and calcium. I've been on calcium for years due to bone degeneration in my hips. So I just need to up the amount I currently take.

Yeah that wasn't nothing compared to most appointments. One of the many reasons I want to switch Dr.'s.  I've moved and he's to far to drive and he can't deliver at the hospital I want to deliver at.

Only problem I called 5 other OB offices and they wouldn't see me until I was 8-10wks even after explaining my history of low Progesterone to them.
He knows my history and as soon as I called I waited less than 30 seconds and he was on the phone with me telling me to go get blood work done that morning.

So now I don't know if I'm gonna find a new OB or not.

Glad it went well - holy cow, that's a heck of a long time to wait to see your doctor....I'm usually in to see mine within 10 minutes of being at the office, I think the longest I've ever waited is 40 minutes because he was late coming into the office due to delivering at the hospital....
