Good Morning Ladies -
I've been an avid lurker on the getting pregnant board for the past few months. My husband and I were married this past January. I stopped birth control mid January, yesterday I had a very, very faint line on a pregnancy test. Teasted again this morning and that line was definitely more prominent.
So I am here to ask you, now what? This will be my first, obviously. From reading previous posts it seems that I need to schedule a doc's appointment for a blood test to confirm, and then to I go back for further blood tests to ensure things are progressing.
Out yard saling with my sister-in-law, I've bought various pregnancy books, so it looks like I need to start reading.
Thank you in advance for your help and direction.
Re: Now what?
Call your Dr. Some do blood test to confirm and some don't. Unless you have a previous history of m/c you will not get betas/continuing blood tests to confirm.
Most women seem to get their first u/s between 6-12 weeks. Good luck.
it's called a kilt, he's scottish
Set doc appt, read books, enjoy and try not to stress.
Congrats!
Congrats! ?You are correct. ?You need to call to schedule an appointment. ?Don't be?surprised?if they schedule you when you are 8 weeks pregnant. ?I'm not sure of the reasoning, but this is common. ?It's nice to have an appointment scheduled though ahead of time. ?
?When I found out I was pregnant, I found thebump by accident. ?I looked over the posts. ?I bought the What to Expect book. ?There are over the counter pre-natal vitamins. ?You may want to start taking them. ?I've been taking the Flintstones vitamins because I have been so sick and can't swallow the large pills. ?
?Hope this is helpful! ?Good luck!?

After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
