So I called the ob-gyn that I had been referred to before, and they said that I needed to go for an ultrasound this week to rule out an eptopic.  This got me all worried again, but we were lucky and there was a cancellation so we were able to get an appointment on Tuesday. 

My family doctor tried to refer me to another ob-gyn, but I asked to stay with the same one as before since I liked her, and my family doctor agreed.  Then I found out that the one that I liked was considered to be one of the best, but that she is really busy.  I was worried that my family doctor would be hurt that I wanted to go with an ob-gyn, but that doesn't seem to be a problem since she referred me without me asking for a referral.

So, back to the ultrasound, we went on Tuesday and this time I managed my bladder much better.  I drank water all morning so I knew I wouldn't be dehydrated.  I went pee one hour before the appointment and started drinking 30 minutes before the appointment.  Ok, I know this is not the way you are supposed to do it, but last time I had a ultrasound, I drank the recommended amount and I was severly uncomfortable and then I found out my bladder was "too full".  They say it is different for every woman, and on some hot days they have a waiting room full of women trying to get their bladders full.

The good news is that they were able to confirm the pregnancy, and confirm that it was in the uterus.  What a relief.  They measured it at around 1cm and said that they estimated we were at 7weeks+1day instead of the 6weeks+2 days that the calendar showed, based on my LMP (last menstral period).  So I guess I ovulated earlier in my period, or this baby just wants to grow faster.  

We were able to see a flicker of a heartbeat, which was amazing.  Also, we asked them to print out a photo for us, even though it looks like just a bunch of grey and black blogs right now.   She said that you can see a lot more at the 12th week and 18th week ultrasounds.

My husband was not allowed to come in to the ultrasound room at first, and he was upset that the technician told me many details before he was allowed in.  I was suprised that they did tell me details, but they should have waited until he was there.  Especially since they knew he was waiting outside and wanted to come in.

I am going to ask the ob-gyn why they have this policy and ask if I am allowed to insist that my husband comes in with me for the whole thing to hold my hand.  I did some surfing and found some scary stories where the ultrasound results were not good, so I suspect that they don't want to be interupted and they don't want someone else watching the monitor when things are bad.  But still, they should have told us the details together.

Yesterday I felt good for the first time in a while, and I think it was because I got a full night of sound sleep for a change.  I was also really busy the whole day so I think I didn't have a chance to think about it, which is different when I am sitting at my desk bored and nauseous.
