No blood test until ten weeks?

i called to tell my OB I was pregnant and set up my first appointment, not until Aug 14. By then I will be one day shy of ten weeks. I get that some doctors don't want to see you until ten weeks, but is it normal not even to have a blood test done before then? I'm coming from TTC for ten years, including many RE procedures where everything was so closely monitored. Just seeing if others are experiencing this too.

  • Yep that's normal :) enjoy no poking or prodding for a while :)

  • I got my blood test right away. I'll see my doctor at 7 weeks.
  • Yep, same here. I have an appointment that includes blood work at 10 weeks. They had me come in this week (6 weeks), but it was just to pee in a cup, set up appointments, etc. Kind of pointless.
