After a few frustrating rounds jumping through hoops, I was finally able to speak with my OB’s office to schedule my first appointments.

My first ultrasound isn’t until around 11 weeks, which is fine and normal. They didn’t have any sooner openings.

But the pregnancy confirmation appointment is the week before and I’ll be 10 weeks (24 June to be exact). Am I crazy or does this seem late? Last time, in 2022, I told them I had a positive test and they took me in for blood work the next day to test the HcG levels and then again a feed days after that to make sure everything was trending up as it should. Do they not do that any more?

I’m confused and frustrated.

Like the title says, I took three tests this morning and they all said positive. Still processing and I wanted to tell someone other than my husband, so here I am!

I’m a mix of nerves. I’m 39 and turning 40 in December. Tell me your positive stories!
