I went right away! The very enxt day.
I wanted a blood test just to be 110% sure! And also he/she can prescribe you vitamins or folic acid (which for me makes them much cheaper! The prenatal vits I was given are €30 for 3 months - a prescription is cheaper!)

I would go right away - strike while the iron is hot?!

In my first appointment he checked the dates then sent me for blood tests for STDs, to check mny blood group, and to check my immunity to toxoplasmosis (spelling?!) and rubella. He also took my weight and blood pressure and gave me a predicted due date.

I thought I'd list what appointments I've had so far to give you an idea of what to expect, however it is different depending on where you are, I'm in London.

1 - I went to my GP the day after my bfp, but there was no need for me to go and if I got pregnant again, I wouldn't rush to go really.. But maybe just give them a call and see what they advise (like you said)

The doc just said well done dear and sent me to book an ante-natal appointment for when I was about 8 weeks. lol

2 - When I had that appointment she just went through a few basic's and sent me to the hospital to have the first lot of blood tests.

3 - The next time I saw anyone was my midwife when I was 12 weeks, she goes through alot with you and thats the first main appointment I'd say. I also heard the heart beat at this appointment, first time it all felt real for me !!

4 - Then I had my 12 week scan.

5 - Had to book to see GP at 16 weeks, at this app I listened to heartbeat and had a general check up.

And now my next appointment is my 20 week scan or mid pregnancy scan as they say which is in about 3 weeks, I would have gone past 20 weeks by then!!

So I haven't had many appointments really, 5 so far.. My OH has come to all of the appointments, but he didn't really NEED to be there, so dont worry to much if he cant make it..

I made an appointment with my GP and saw her within a week, only because I was on medication so I needed to check it out, so I must have been about 5wks.........but I also got a lot of information, and refered to the hospital I wanted and had my blood pressure done etc etc.....so it wasn't a waste of time. I still had to wait til I was 10 weeks for my booking in appointment, but at least it was official.

If I was to get PG now, I would probably wait a few weeks before I went and saw her, only because it is all fresh in my mind and I wouldn't be worrying so much. x

Saw GP straight away but thats because I am half way through tests to diagnose PCOS and I've been taking lots of meducation for restless leg syndrome. She didnt do another test or bloods or anything just said congratulations, stopped my meds immediately and booked a MW apt for next week, which will mean Ive been waiting 4 weeks

I think I got my positive pregnancy test on August 8th, and I saw my dr. on Aug 14th. She did many blood tests and confirmed my pregnancy with HCG.
