I had my 1st antenatal appoinment yesterday with gync in oerlikon...she told i might be in my 6th week and when she did v-u/s she told she dont see anything :-((( she didnt give any advice,takecares or anything ( i am nt sure if this is how it is here :-())))

Actually point is, i am phobic to all the pregnancy prcedure.....and this gync is nt at all understanding,infact she alwys asks me to go to some psycologist or so :-(((((

What i feel is ,doctors shud know their patient and handle accordingly,i am lookng for a good and understnading frindly gync.!

Find a new doctor or consider seeing a midwife instead. You don't even have to have an 'examination' anyway - not an internal one - it doesn't tell the doctor anything much except 'you are pregnant'...except if they are checking to make sure it's not a 'tubal' pregnancy. Not sure what the doctor was looking for, doing an internal ultrasound at 6 weeks - you wouldn't even see a heartbeat at that stage of the pregnancy..

On the other hand, if you are 'phobic', well, the 'specialist' for that is definitely a psychologist...

So sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Pregnancy is definitely a time when you need someone you're comfortable with, and who you feel understands what you're going through.

You said the doctor did a transvaginal ultrasound but didn't see anything? I'm not sure I understand as this suggests a blighted ovum.

First learn how to use spell check. Text speak is annoying.

Then go somewhere else. Your doctor suggests going to a psychologist because you are nervous about what i assume is your first pregnancy and you are still there? Why?

Just make an appointment with someone else

Are you absolutely sure you are pregnant? Did you do a pregnancy test at home and it was positive?

Yes my Hcg test was 100% positive!!! and infact she first brought some kind of metal tool to examine and i was like what the hell is this!!then with much request she droped that and did internal scan....

I would als really appreciate ,if anyone can recommend ,a good english speaking,gync with bit of tolerance to handle ladies like me....

Thanks

You most certainly would see the fertilized egg in an ultrasound.

If you are 6 weeks she would have seen the sac with the embryo inside, maybe even with a heartbeat.

Did you do a pee or blood test to confirm pregnancy?

I am sorry you had a bad experience today.

You have a couple of choices, wait about 2 weeks, test again. Find another doctor or as suggested go to a midwife.

Good luck

I had one of these ultrasounds at 7 weeks and we most certainly picked up a heart beat. I personally felt it was slightly unnecessary, but given that it was during an appointment to organise IVF and given that all previous tests had shown there was a very low possibility of us ever having another baby, even with assistance, I can sort of understand our doctor's eagerness to check this out thoroughly!

My understanding is that from 6 weeks onwards, these ultrasounds do have a certain diagnostic benefit.

i did a pee test !

I have a really good doctor here in Luzern. I went to him for both of my pregnancies and he speaks English. If you want info just PM me.

Sorry i forgot to mention i live in zuirch!

Update your location then - it's currently set to Luzern

Is it possible you have your weeks off? Maybe do another pee test tomorrow morning? If that one is positive go for another u/s in a week, something must be visible by then.

I am sure i am preggie as i have all the sympotoms,like morking sickness,uneasiness,getting tires very osoon,vomting senstations etc etc...i am sure ,i think if i go in couple of weeks for a check up thn something shud be UP :-)
in the mean time i need to find out a good gync-help pls!

Sorry, can't help you with that, but please keep us updated.

Some suggestions here, on page 5 of this thread you will find the most recent replies

At 6 weeks, it's extremely early to tell on a scan if your pregnancy has taken or not. You might need to wait a week or more to be sure.

Please bear in mind that pregnancy 'symptoms' might also be psychologically induced... When I was trying to get pregnant, each time I was a few days late for my periods I would start to have 'symptoms', as sometimes when you want sthg so much your mind makes you happy by creating it...

It's very unlikely that a pregnancy doesn't show on a vaginal scan at 6 weeks...

Your doc might very well be tactless or plain rude, but might he be right in thinking you need to see a psychologist about some unresolved issue?

I'm not judging you in anyway, just trying to help. Good luck to you.
