  • Not pg so not sure but NHS Direct says you can go doctors from 8 days after conception. This is becasue you cant get bfp on HPT so early. If you can go before bfp im sure you are fine to go now
  • I went to the docs the same day I got a positive result. She just said congrats and told me to make an appointment with the midwife.
  • Hi

    I went on Monday.I got my bfp last Tuesday. Got my booking in appointment with the midwife in 3 weeks. Doctor thinks I could be having twins cos I got my bfp 4 days before af was due(with my 2 other pregnancies didnt get bfp till I was 2 weeks late) plus I am really showing already. So I am hoping to be scanned at 9 weeks.

  • I booked an appointment with my GP asap but I had a 2 week wait. Eventually the appt was moved forward because I had been bleeding for a while and I was getting worried. She wanted to see me again a week later to check the bleeding had stopped or do some tests but I ended up in hospital (long story) instead. All fine but saw her again once discharged and all I needed to do was make an appointment with the midwife. Going tomorrow and I'll be 10 weeks.

    They never seem in much of a rush, probably because women find out they're pregnant so early now! Also, I had a couple of scans when in hospital and it's really hard to make anything out when it's so early (I was about 6 weeks at the time). Obviously they may be keen to do early scans with a history of miscarriage but not sure they'll see something at four weeks.

    They'll sort you out tomorrow though and offer you whatever is necessary.

    Good luck! Sonia
  • Hi Becs,
    I got a scan early, but at 12 weeks they thought that was EARLY, but if you have had complications in the past, they may wanna see ya, although, I thought that they made you wait that long so you can see the baby???

  • Hi Becs. I went to the doctors 3 days after BFP. She jus asked a few questions and gave me a form to fill out and take to the midwife. Now gotta phone midwife.

  • I was too busy to get in at the doctors. I found out I was pregnant wen I was 4weeks and dint even see GP till 6weeks. Im 8+3 now and have booking in appt with MW nxt friday will be 9+5 which I think is pretty avaerage. I dnt really think it matters wen u c gp or MW each to their own. Kerry x
  • Becs,

    I am soooooooooooo pleased for you - that's brilliant news! When I saw my doc (pretty much bang on 4 weeks too) she did a blood test as well to check my hcg levels. I then went back and had them checked the following week to see if they were increasing at the right rate. As you can imagine, I too was pretty terrified in those first few weeks.

    I called my pregnancy support unit directly and because of previous mc they were perfectly happy to get me an early scan although they dont do them before 8 weeks here - but other places do them at 6 weeks i think.

    I found getting the blood tests helped reassure me while i waited for my scan.

    anyway, gotta get started at work, let me know how you get on at docs.
