Doctor confirmation? - Page 2

Mrschoochoo · Feb 26th, 2010, 07:46 AM

I have just phoned my Docs, I was going to leave it a bit as I am not even 4 weeks till monday, but then some on here said there may be a wait for an appointment so I thought I would ask.
I have to go see the Doc on monday, once he confirms it I can book in with the midwife at 8 weeks

hiya,

i just went to the doctors with the HPT with the positive that was enough for them. Then i had to book a midwife appointment i wasnt sure how far i was on but they saw me anyway and got me notes and a scan appointment pretty quick.

Nobody interested in confirming I am pregnant! Just taking my word for it!

Hi,

I phoned my local medical practice and said that I'm pregnant and wondered what next step was. They told me I had to see a doctor. Saw the doctor, she didn't do any tests just took my word for it. Then she said a midwife would call me to arrange a booking in appointment. It must be different for different regions.

Thanks everyone for your replies!!

I had taken (no kidding) 7 HPTs with me, one being a clear blue digital one. I pointed out that the 1-2weeks meant from conception, not from LMP. I'll be technically half way through my first trimester by the time he confirms it!! I worked out that I will be 7 weeks :/

My mum has offered to come with me next week as doctor is scared of her. It's a sorry state of affairs though when a grown woman has to take her mother with her to sort out the doctor lol!!

I know that I can't get a m/w appointment for a while yet but I want to just get the ball rolling a little. I want to know that I'm being taken seriously too which I don't feel at the moment.xx

I'm in the US, so I didn't talk to a doctor at all. Just looked up the local midwife/obgyn office near me and gave them a call. They took my word for it that I had tested and was pregnant.

as soon as i went into the doc and said i took a HPT and it came out positive, he sent me rite to the hospital to get my blood test and urine test that day and he discussed them with me the week after and set me up with a ultrasound appointment

I've not seen the doctor yet, which is annoying me.
I am currently 5 weeks 3 days, and took my test on 17th Feb. Rang my doctors to make an appointment on Monday (22nd), and said that I had taken two positive pregnancy tests and what do I do now. The receptionist said I didnt need to see doctor, and to drop in a urine sample, which I did on Tuesday. Im still waiting to hear from them. Is this normal, I feel like Im being fobbed off...
