Am so nervous....Am going to the GP for confirmation of BFP tomorrow morning....Don't know what to expect. Am so scared he will say that I'm not pregnant, even after 5 positive HPT.....
What will he do tomorrow?...Is it just a repeat urine sample or does he get the ball rolling with hospitals, bloods etc???
Can't stop worrying...Would love to hear what happens.

Hi
My gp did another urine test, took bp, pulse and weighed me. She also went through all the antenatal options and gave me letter for sp clinic and the form for the combined care scheme.
Don't worry - once you get a bfp on a home pregnancy test you are definitely pregnant - the gp ones aren't as sensitive as the ones like first response etc.
Relax and don't worry to much - enjoy the moment!
Congrats

I was a bit disappointed with my first doctors appt. I don't know what I expected, them to throw a party for me maybe

, but I had to virtually beg for them to do a pregnancy test, which proved inconclusive as they are less sensitive as the op said. They did take a urine sample and blood sample, and sent off forms to hospital (CUMH) for me. But I think whether they do this or give you the forms to do yourself depends on the GP.
All in all it wasn't the concrete confirmation I was looking for, so I bought a digital CB test on the way home (the one that tells you how far gone you are) and did that and that gave me much more comfort!

Good luck!

Congrats. Good luck with the doctor. My doctor didn't do another test at all (and I believe a lot of them don't). If you have got a BFP on the home tests then you are definitely pregnant. She just said congratulations, gave me some advice on what not to eat, took blook pressure, did a urine sample to check for infections. And gave me a form to sign for free GP visits while pregnant. She also asked what hospital I wanted to go for a whether I was interested in private/ semi-private or public. May be worth thinking about that in advance. (the private consultants get booked up quickly so you need to call asap if you're interested in that option)

congrats

my doc didn't bother with test a i waited until i was 8 weeks to see her. she did blood pressure, filled out form for maternity care number, gave me a combined care card and sent me to nurse for bloods!
dont know when im supposed to see her again as combined care card says 24 weeks so i guess thats it!
good luck with your app, if you are in very early stages your doc will prob do preg test to confirm. but try not to worry hpt are reliable especially when you have done 5!!
