Q: Pregnant Again

I'm 23 yrs old, engaged for a year now. I was pregnant a year ago and misscarried. I started getting symptoms about 2 weeks ago. I got a home pregnancy test and came out positive on thursday. I'm happy, nervous, but don't want to get too excited yet. I don't want to be heartbroken as I was a year ago.

Ok well my last cycle was dec. 8th 2004. I didn't get it this month so I am aprox 4-6 weeks, i'm guessing. Is it too early to see my ob-gyn?

I would go see your ob, they can give you a blood test, and then youll be able to start prenatal care and regular doctors appointments. Congratulations, and good luck!!!

No its not to early.. I went through this similar situation except I have had 3 spontanious mis. Some doctors want to monitor you closely from the beginning because not to scare you but im sure you all ready know the first 12-13 weeks are the most critical. Good luck hun and we are all here if you need to talk

Well I called my dr office and they said I have to be atleast 6 weeks in order for my 1st appt. They counted from the day of my last cycle. So next week is my appt.

I'm getting really anxious to know how far along I really am. I can't wait! And it's only the beginning! I still don't want to get too excited yet, not until we reach 2nd trimester. We haven't even told any of our friends yet! My mom knows, and a few co-workers. I just can't wait!
