Waiting Waiting

Monday April 21st I  got my official positive and started looking up doctors in the area. Luckily my coworker friend, Laura,  recommended a doctor that was very close and covered by our insurance. I made an appointment the next day and found out I had to wait about a month to go to my first appointment. See, the chances of miscarriage is actually really high for those first few weeks. I guess it makes sense for them to make us wait it out at home and not bog the doctor down with appointments that aren't necessary but the waiting to hear that things are okay has by far been the most nerve-wrecking part of this experience.

In the meantime I continued to do at home pregnancy tests every day or two to see if I would have a chemical pregnancy. I never had any bleeding but some of my symptoms would fade in and out and I didn't get nauseous enough to puke so I was afraid something was wrong. This chart might seem kind of morbid, but I actually found it really comforting to see the odds "against" me steadily falling.

The following dates are based on an estimated LMP of March 19th, 2014.
