So I finally had my first doctors appointment or so I thought. Instead I just saw a nurse who was not as reassuring as I wanted. The appointment started with him asking me why I was there. So he checked my blood work, took my blood pressure, and then told me that since my doctor had not sent me for an "official" PG test, I was not pregnant till he had that result. He claimed that a machine had a to process the urine. I did a urine sample so he could check my urine for protein and then was going to send the rest to the lab to be tested. So I left the appointment pretty disappointed and he told me to see the Nurse Practitioner in 10 days. I made an appointment for Sept 7.
I got a call from him the next day that my urine sample was not refrigerated so I had to go to the lab and do another one. Fun Fun. So I go to the lab, there is a line up and just as I am about to pee myself, I get called to give my sample. I asked the tech how it will be tested. She said with pretty much just a home pregnancy test, it doesn't get run through a machine at all. Arg. That was annoying.
Due to a cancellation, I was able to see the Nurse Practitioner today. It was a much better appointment. I had an hour so I got to ask her all my questions. I mentioned that with PCOS I was concerned so she sent me for a dating/ viability ultrasound which I am waiting to hear from the ultrasound place for an appointment. I am feeling much better and can't wait till I can see my little bean.

Ugh the first guy sounds like a tool! Hopefully things will start to go a little smoother for you from here on out though.
Yeah, I have a ultrasound Sept 15 so I am really looking forward to that.
