First, the pregnancy symptoms sound fine. I would just be patient. Regarding the tubal, I tend to favor the scope at 6 weeks. It doesn't take you away from the baby, is met with less postoperative discomfort and in your case will allow a better assessment of the pelvis because the uterus will be out of the way by then. Regarding the records, it really doesn't matter much because your new physician is going to be there first hand and see what he/she needs to see... Lynn
