Got a call from my doctor with my blood test results and I am now officially pregnant!
I do however, have a few questions. When I first came in she didn't examine me, just had the nurse take blood and said to call in 2 business days for results. She said it was too soon to see anything. I want to be fair though and mention that I was in her office 2x in the last month and she run quite a few blood tests before so she definitely knew that the pregnancy was very recent.
Also, she asked me if I still take Folic Acid, which I do, because I started taking in when we first started to TTC. She said Folic Acid is enough for now and didn't give me any other prenatals to take. When I called for the test results today I spoke to the nurse who said everything looks normal. I asked if they can tell how far along I am when I need to come in for an exam and she said that the doctor didn't say and she needs to ask her. She then called me back and said it's too soon to see how far along I was and to come in 2 weeks. That's it!
So, I wonder, is it normal that she didn't examine me the first time and didn't give me any prenatal beside folic acid I was already taking? Did any of your started taking anything else rigth away? Also, I thought she would be able to tell formt he blood work how long ago the conseption occured, based on the beta levels (?) I am confused!
I know that the office is very, very busy and see pregnant woman all the time, but I just felt like that whole thing should have been more.. I don't know... official, I guess...

The sono thing is true to early can be really scary if nothing is there that is what happened to me. They told me it may be ectopic and i cryed for 4 days until my f/u sono when the bean showed up.
OMG, wino, that is awful! I can only imagine how terrible it made you feel!
