View Full Version : how long did you wait...
Jackie 01-12-2007, 05:51 PM how long did you have to wait to see a doctor after getting a positive on an at home pregnancy test? I called my doctor today and I don't go to see him for a blood test and everything until the 24th. it's driving me crazy that i won't know for sure until the 24th! is it normal to wait that long?
wolfspawprint 01-12-2007, 05:56 PM I went in and confirmed by urine test the same day (4 weeks) in the dr's office and then was scheduled for my actual appointment (bloodwork, initial exam, initial ultrasound) when I was 8 weeks.
MelissaMc424 01-12-2007, 06:16 PM I called my PCM the day after I got the + at home.. went in that next afternoon and had it confirmed. It took around 2 weeks to get Tricare and my PCM to cooperate with each other (my PCM's clinic personnel kinda suck) and to get my referral/appointment to see my OB/GYN...
Amber V 01-12-2007, 06:23 PM I always seen the OB for my first appt at about 12 weeks.
Shep's Wife 01-12-2007, 06:25 PM went in asap for confirmation of preggers and then set up appointment, usually about 8 weeks along is when you are seen.
Jackie 01-12-2007, 06:30 PM thanks...i guess i should call and see if i could go in sooner just to get it confirmed.
We went right in to confirm it. :)
lemon_parade 01-12-2007, 08:08 PM I called as soon as I got a positive, they didn't confirm it until my 12 week appointment... :shrug
Kaymara 01-12-2007, 08:23 PM I confirmed the day after I got my + at home and then waited 2 weeks for my referral. Called to make an appt. They normally like to see you around 9 weeks or so providing you dont have a history of problems. So it is normal to wait a bit
BLBnJVB3 01-12-2007, 09:59 PM With Breanna I got my positive and 2 days later had the pg confirmed. My first real appt. where I had a pap and everything was the following week.
With Johnny I got my positive and 4 days later got the pg confirmed. The following week I had my first real appt.
With this one I got my positve and got the pg confirmed 2 days later. But my first real appt. wasn't til 4 weeks later.
MichelleB 01-12-2007, 10:29 PM I went to the hospital to take another preggo test the very next day. Then I saw my doctor for my first prenatal appointment when I was around 9-10 weeks along, and got my first ultrasound.
Amanda 01-13-2007, 07:00 AM for me it was confirmed at home on Saturday called Monday morning to schedule an appt. Went to do my blood test Tuesday I got called Wednesday with the results and now I'm scheduled for the 25th of Jan. to see the prenatal nurse for bloodwork and other things and that will be around 8-9 weeks and then March 2nd I see the doctor at almost 13 weeks :)
Traci 01-13-2007, 07:39 AM It was a Friday night so I had to wait until Monday AM. It was hell. Dh had me get like 5 at home tests. He was to funny.
Jackie 01-13-2007, 09:58 AM that's what is happening here :) no where is open until tuesday cause of the holiday so he keeps wanting me to take more etsts to see if they all come back positive
CMPCAP 01-13-2007, 10:31 AM I got a postive test on a Friday, then took another one on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I then called on monday and went in on Tuesday morning for a test. I was so schocked that we were pg that it took me 4 or 5 for it to sink it that we had done it.
Went to Family Practice to confirm it and then made the appointment at 8 weeks to be seen at OBGYN clinic.
Victoria 01-14-2007, 03:39 AM I took 4 at home tests on a Friday, then called the clinic on Monday to get a same-day appt for a blood test confirmation. It was about 2 weeks after conceiving Ethan. I didn't have a REAL appt at the MTF til 12 weeks though.
Ashnbri 01-14-2007, 01:40 PM I didnt get it confirmed after I got my + test. I just called and scheduled the appointment and when I was getting all my other pregnancy tests done they asked if I had a blood test to confirm and that is when they did it. I did have to wait a while before going in too.
froglove 01-14-2007, 01:42 PM :teehee I went in the same day and had it confirmed by a urine test. Dh didnt want me to tell anyone( with both pregnancies) until I saw my dr and tested there
