Trini - I'm not arguing with your decision, but, these are just my suggestions...
If you're worried your parents might flip, you may be better to tell them now, because IF you go to them and tell them you are say, 10 weeks pregnant, they may think you've been hiding it from them, regardless of what you say about not knowing. At least if you tell them before the dating scan, you've given them the forewarning that you don't actually know, iykwim? Your parents may be good about it, but they may flip even more if they think you've been hiding it.
Also, they'll generally tell you it's 48hrs for your bloods - have you booked a second appointment for two days afterwards?? - because if you're doc is booked out now, chances are he will be then, so that's another week say on top of it... unless your clinic gives results over the phone... but then he has to refer you for a scan, which could make it another week or two...
I know you might be able to get in quicker than that, but just something to think about...
Hope you don't take offense! And good luck with what you do decide
