Doctor Appt & Labor Day

Last week I went to the doctor for my normal yearly appointment and while I was there I brought up the fact that its been a year now that we have started TTC. The doctor pretty much told me that I have to wait a year AFTER my miscarriage before she will do anything! That because I was pregnant, that "we know everything works" that I should be glad I'm not 36, and I'm still young. She also told me if I were to get pregnant I can't come in for any blood work to make sure my numbers are doubling! That I have to wait until I'm 6 1/2 weeks to see if there was a heartbeat. She said that the Betas could be wrong and there is no point in having an ultrasound if there is not a heartbeat yet. So..I was not very happy, I'm very much considering finding another doctor, this is my 3rd doctor at this place, the first one was really nice, but she retired, but the last two are not very sensitive! I may call anyways and ask if I can come in as soon as I'm pregnant, but we'll see.
For Labor Day weekend we went down to Kentucky for a family reunion on my Dads side, it was so much fun! All my Dads sisters and brothers were there besides one and their kids.

This is a picture of myself and both of my nieces.

It was a long drive down, but it was well worth it to see everybody. My one uncle was told a long time ago that he wasn't able to ever have kids. Well, his wife is now 6 months pregnant! I found out she was pregnant a day after I had my miscarriage, we were just a couple weeks apart. I was so excited for them, because my uncle is such a great guy, and he was over the moon excited that they are going to be having a baby, we had a little shower for them while we were there. It was weird though, I almost started crying when they walked in, not because I'm not happy for them, but just because I knew that I would have been just that pregnant, but I held myself together!

Hope everybody had a good long weekend!

  1. I'd consider getting another doctor. It's not fair for them to be so insensitive. I'm sorry that you had to experience that.

    What a cute couple you two are! You look great together!

    I can totally relate to how you felt when you saw your Uncle's wife. My husbands cousin was pregnant with me (in my previous pregnancy), and we shared a due date. We went to visit her and the new baby, and I couldn't help but cry when I got home because had that pregnancy worked out I would have been holding my own child in my arms. The fact that I was pregnant made the blow slightly less harsh, but it was still tough. Hugs to you!
