Bre- I am still holding onto hope that I can get my insurance to cover it since I am 35 and my sister had a baby with genetic/birth defects. I am going to ask my doctor today as I have an appointment. Just in case they won't I am going to start doing research too and I will let you know what I find. We are willing to pay a few hundred, but probably not $700. Still have plenty of time since I know you have to be past 10 weeks for most of them.
FYI- I found something on "BabyCenter" and "What to expect when expecting" that explained when they say "Week 5" they mean 5w0d-5w6d and that yes you are technically in the 6th week but they call it week 5"
One last silly question (and moma don't worry about crashing, I have a strong feeling you are going to be officially joining before long and I trust everything you have to say so I am glad you are here!)- some things I read say first trimester ends at 11w6d but other say last day of 1st is 12w6d and then others just say it goes through week 13. I am sure it doesn't matter, but I was just curious and hate the inconsistency of things you read.

GirlieCat, I've also noticed inconsistencies with the end of the 1st trimester. I personally believe the 2nd trimester starts on 13w0d. Also, I hope you're right that I will join you in here soon.

I just got back from my doctors appointment and that was a complete waste. I am not even sure why they had me come in. He did a quick pelvic exam which I wasn't very happy about. Then said a few things and that was basically it. I did ask about testing and he said there are a ton of routine ones now (one special one he said is now standard in California-not sure what that is because he talked to fast to remember) but he also said that I can get the NIPT one too, is that a normal one or is that the ones that tell early gender? Not sure if insurance will pay.
First ultrasound is scheduled for exact 8w0d- is that too early? I just want to see the heart beat, see a baby and not an empty sac and know everything looks okay and maybe get a few pictures. I hate that my insurance is a PPO with a high deductible because I have to pay a ton every time I go in. Normal doc visit is $70, last ultrasound I had to check for cysts was $230...don't get me started on the cost of blood work. My deductible starts all over in Jan so I get to pay this year and next year- yeah. (sorry, insurance makes me crazy).

I did want to share one funny thing. Doc came in room before nurse had come back with results of their pee pregnancy test.
He said- "So congratulations your pregnant" and
I said "so the test was positive?"
He realized the nurse hadn't written the results in the chart yet so while he called her he asked me "Did you take an at home test?"
I said, "yes, about 7 of them and they were all positive."
And he actually said "I never understand why ladies take so many at home test."
All I could say was "Uh to be sure it is real and they stay positive"
Boys...

I think 8 weeks will be enough to see a heartbeat, although sometimes it doesn't show up until later and all is still fine.
Hope you don't mind me saying this, but your Dr sounds kinda lame ; talking too fast, doing something you're not comfy with, can you change to a different one?
Here in the UK we don't have to pay for the basic NHS care, and I have never been so grateful !
Will have to pay £395 for the NIPT, but that doesn't seem a lot compared to you US ladies.
Then again on the plus side...I have been in American hospitals, and they are so clean and spacious, not like some of ours - my local one is run down and there are no private rooms.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
