With DS2 I was seeing an RE already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2385314 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 08:39:04 +0000 ShootingStar 2385314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I had a feeling 10DPO was too early. I'll call on Monday, assuming I'm still getting positives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384684 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 17:55:27 +0000 LAZB 2384684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! I called as soon as I got a positive, and my doctor had me come in for betas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384534 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 15:58:45 +0000 mrsrain 2384534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited to miss my period and then called. It was a new practice for me, so I wanted to get in quick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384529 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 15:55:56 +0000 coopsmama 2384529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call around 6-7 weeks with each pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384523 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 15:51:28 +0000 BSB 2384523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!!</p> <p>I was seeing a RE so I was still seeing them until I was 9 weeks, but they suggested I call my OB to get an appt in around 8 weeks. I called around 6 weeks because I was told that some offices fill up faster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384516 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 15:47:29 +0000 lawbee11 2384516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't call until a couple of days after my missed period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384513 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 15:46:24 +0000 Mamasig 2384513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I called after I missed my period. But my OB doesn't schedule the 1st appointment until you are 8 weeks or so (based on your last period), so I waited for about 4 weeks to see her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384445 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 15:07:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2384445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few days after my BFP, because it was the weekend and I waited until I had time to call during the week. But I knew they wouldn't schedule it until 8-10 weeks anyway. Both times I was completely sure of my dates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384425 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:56:10 +0000 Chillybear 2384425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tested on a sunday and just so happened to have my yearly already scheduled for the next day.... they set me up to come in at 8 weeks for my "first" prenatal appt </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384410 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:45:09 +0000 mauxie 2384410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO1, I called as soon as I got the positive and my primary dr ordered the blood tests for betas. Once it was confirmed, I went to an OB around 6 weeks and did an internal ultrasound. This doc in particular was pretty liberal with ultrasounds.</p> <p>With LO2 and LO3, they had me wait to come in until after 8 weeks. They didn't do anything prior to confirm the pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384404 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:42:23 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2384404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a faint positive that I didn't believe/trust my eyes on on Friday. I had a strong positive on Sunday. I called my OB on Monday and set up my first appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384402 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:40:31 +0000 BandDmommy 2384402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With pregnancy 1 and 3, I didn't know how far I was, I went in for a dating scan. With DD, pregnancy 2, I called after I had missed my period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384401 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:40:26 +0000 Mrs D 2384401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!</p> <p>I called when I was technically 1 day late. My office takes forever to get in to. With DD they didnt have me come in until I was 7w or so for the dating US - this time they had me come in a few days after I called for a blood test to confirm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384400 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:39:51 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2384400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! Since a 10DPO test is pretty early, I would maybe wait until 12-14DPO and keep testing. Then I would see if they can call in an order for the Betas if you want that done. With my second I was able to go straight to seeing the OB, I didn't have to have a nurse consult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384399 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:39:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 2384399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Yes, but we moved between babies, so it was an entirely different practice/hospital, and they needed to get me established there. I don't know if it's any different if it's the same practice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384397 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:38:20 +0000 ShootingStar 2384397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Did they have you meet just with the nurse for baby 2 also? I'd just as soon skip that one this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384395 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:37:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 2384395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!!!</p> <p>I called as soon as I got a positive, and my first visit with the nurse was schduled for a few weeks later. Actually with my second I called the day after my period was due, which was several days after I got a positive :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384394 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:36:04 +0000 mediagirl 2384394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!!<br /> I called after my positive test. They set up the appointment then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384393 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:35:59 +0000 Mamaof2 2384393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!</p> <p>My OB requires you to be 2 weeks late before scheduling an appt </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384392 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:35:12 +0000 lamariniere 2384392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! I called as soon as I had a positive, but I was closer to 6 weeks when I found out with LO1, and probably called around 6 weeks with LO2 since it took me some time to find a new OB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384390 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:34:22 +0000 LBee 2384390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After my missed period.</p> <p>ETA: Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-call-your-ob#post-2384389 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 14:33:53 +0000 ShootingStar 2384389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a light positive today (yay!!) at 10DPO. I feel a little silly calling my OB just in case it doesn't stick. When I had DS I was working with an RE so I didn't schedule anything with the OB until after a few betas, maybe 6w or so?</p> <p>When is the appropriate time to call your OB and let them know you think you're pregnant? </p>
