Okay ladies. I posted a while back about TTC a girl and Shettles. Well, I charted after going off the pill, and it turned into one 3 month chart before I just had it. I've regularly taken a test, and they had all been negative, then on Aug. 12th, I called my ob (after yet another negative test that morning) because it had been since april when I'd had my last period. She said come in and they were going to do a pelvic and make sure things were cool. Well, since Saturday I've been nauseous. I could no longer blame it on poor diet, so yesterday I took a test, and it was positive. I had my OB visit today, and after waiting an hour, I went up to the desk and told her my situation had changed and that I was pregnant after all. After a check with doc, *they sent me home*! They don't even want to see me until I'm 8-10 weeks along. I live in Denmark - I believe first midwife session is around week 16. 8-10 seem very fine to me - great service compared to what I'm used to. Tine, Denmark |

They don't even want to see me until I'm 8-10 weeks along. I don't know about you ladies, but have you ever heard this before??? They aren't even going to try and figure out how far along I am. Please tell me I'm not crazy for not wanting to see this practice again... The other question--at just how early in conception do those tests pick up your hormones? I figure I'm about 3 weeks based on symptoms and testing, but since they're not going to figure it out, I guess I'd better. Advice? Congrats on your pregnancy! Sometimes it can take a while for your cycle to get back on track after quitting the pill. It sounds like you got pregnant on your first post-pill ovulation, hence the lack of periods before-hand. I guess you mean you are three weeks post-ovulation? So that would be the equivalent to about 5 weeks pregnant if you had a regular period. Tests can pick it up as early as 11 days past conception. If that's the case I don't know what the OB could have done for you, maybe just give you another pee test but you've already taken one anyway. Just because they didn't date it now (that would be hard 'cause there isn't really anything to see at this stage) doesn't mean they won't do an ultrasound at your next appointment. So if this is the only thing that bugs you about the practice I might be inclined to give them a second chance & see how they are at the next appointment. Elle |

I agree with you. I think that the earliest possible care is the best care. As for the test, it is different for every woman when it will show up. Your best way to find out how far you are is an ultrasound.

I can see that in cases where women are lacking basic information (don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't drink, eat well, get enough folic acid, etc.), but none of those things are rocket science or require medical care. I'm unaware of studies showing that starting prenatal care before 8-12 weeks in a normal population makes any difference. Best wishes, Ericka |
