Had my first "official" appt

I'd like to wait until after my first ultrasound to tell.

Do what you're comfortable with.

I agree you have to do with what your comfortable with.

I am not doing a dating u/s so I have to wait to 10-12 weeks before they can hear a HB via doppler. So it's going to around Christmas time before we know what is going on. I am hoping for the best and preparing myself for the worst.

GL! Just keep positive.

I had my first apt. yesterday. I was scheduled to do a vaginal ultrasound for dating (I am high risk), but the tech went home early, sick kid or something the dr. attempted to do a normal one, but it is too early to see the hb that way. I was given a referral slip to go out of the office to do the dating U/S but they just called an cancelled me since they don't take HMO insurance. I have another one at 10 weeks, but I'm really anxious to see if there is one or two as my family has a long history of twins!

I had my first U/S this morning... so exciting to see the heartbeat! I'm a little bit sad that my hubby wasn't there (he goes to work before the place opens), but the tech was really sweet and printed up a ton of pics for him!

They didn't check for a heartbeat (said it was too early ) but she said there's no reason to think anything is wrong. She made a comment about how high my HCG levels were last time around and seemed satisfied with that. I've lost 7 lbs from M/S.

I opted into the NT scan so I'll have an ultrasound at 12 weeks, then another at 20. Now I'm sitting and waiting for lots of blood work.

I was going to tell my family at Thanksgiving but without a heartbeat I'm hesitant. Everything is fine and I should just tell them, right?

8 or 9 weeks isn't too early for a heartbeat. I went at 5 weeks 2 days, and they couldn't see one, but they had me back at 7 weeks and could see the heart beating on the ultrasound.

I don't know if I would like going to your doctor, they don't seem very accurate. But I don't know if you LOVE them or anything, and if you do, then totally keep going there.

I told my parents several weeks before telling the rest of my family. If you are hesitant, wait it out. But I think it would be ok to tell.

I went at 6w/4d and we both heard the heartbeat. It's so odd how different doctors are.
