Congrats again!
Call the doc & let them know you got a BFP. It depends on the practice, but most Drs will see you around 8 weeks, but they might send you for your bloodwork this week.
My Dr sent me for blood work right away to check my Beta levels.

Re: I was posting on the TTC
You can go to the dr as soon as you want. They'll probably only do a urine pg test & maybe take blood. Depending on your dr, they usually do a sono after 6 wks, some wait until 12 wks.
If you have a normal 28 day cycle, they count from the first day of your last af to figure how many wks you are.
Call your dr & find out their procedures. Congrats!!

Re: I was posting on the TTC
I went right away to confirm b/c I just couldn't believe it! They also did a sono the first day and I saw the little dot ! I was also spotting so I wanted to make sure I was OK. They gave me prescriptions when I was there too (I had prenatals but they also gave me folic acid, and told me to take a baby asprin every day).

Re: I was posting on the TTC
I really think it depends on your doctor. When I first got my BFP I called the doc and they didn't want to see me until I was 8 weeks. I was a little annoyed because I wanted to start taking prenatals. They said I could start at 8 weeks. I ended up going in at around 5-6 weeks because I was spotting. They did all the regular first visit stuff then. If your doc won't see you before 8 weeks or so, just start taking OTC prenatals before then, plus an additional 400mcg of folic acid.

hmmm< i would call the Dr now, sometimes they make you wait for the appointment. I can understand your apprehension, but it is better to have the appointment there for you & If (s)he wants you to get bloodwork to compare Betas it is easier to do in the first few weeks.

You can make your appt now to get all the internal exam stuff out of the way. Your 1st official OB appt will be around 8 weeks. Congrats!

Re: I was posting on the TTC
Don't wait to call the doctor. It could take a while to get in anyway. Congrats!!!!!!!!
Typically, once you get your BFP you are about 4 weeks pregnant already. (Because it counts from the first day of your last period, not conception.) And my first appt got scheduled at 6 weeks, with my first sono at 8 weeks.

Re: I was posting on the TTC
CONGRATULATIONS! I called the dr. about a week after my bfp since i got it before af was even due. I spoke with a nurse who prescribed me prenatals immediately and told me dos/don'ts. My first appt though was not until 8 weeks.
