Right after I got my positive test, I called and scheduled an appt with my OB/GYN. They said the earliest they could see me was 8 weeks. I asked if they could do an ultrasound at that time and they said yes.

Today I went in for my 8 week appt and all the doctor did was take a sample of my urine and test me for gonorrhea and chlamydia. She did press on my belly and say that based on the size of my uterus, I'm probably at around 8 weeks.

She said I need to schedule a separate appt to get an ultrasound, but that the sonographer may not be able to tell me if the pregnancy is viable, and I will need to schedule a 3rd appt to meet with the doctor to review the ultrasound findings and to draw blood for tests.

When I questioned why this requires 3 appts, she said it was because of my insurance. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO+

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal, or should I find another doctor?

I'm really cranky about it because my husband rearranged his work schedule so he could be at the ultrasound, and then we didnt even get to do one! And now he probably wont be able to attend the actual ultrasound. 😭 Also, how the hell am I supposed to keep my pregnancy quiet at work if I have to go to 3 doctors appt over a span of 2 weeks??
