    Emma she may do a blood test if your urine sample doesn't show up on her test.
    I had a blood test done to confirm mine but only because it didn't show up on her test but it had on the ones at home.

    I didn't find out about scans until after the bloodtest was done.

    Hi

    I went to the doctors this afternoon too I did one hpt yesterday afternoon at 9dpo and it was very very faint but +ve and anoher one this morning and it was +ve I am 4weeks today if you go by the first day of you last period and she said wait til the 6thof dec til I'm 6weeks and then to test again and if still +ve to come back in she said she thinks it will still be +ve but so many women lose their babies at this early stage so they don't bother testing anything til 6weeks

    It sucks though I was think well there are over 6billion ppl in the world and some had to be preg with each of them so give me the benefit of the doubt!! It is discouraging I think because to me deing preg and thinking I could be and the gp treated it like a common cold or something! I can't wait to show so it all feels more real!

    and to start having tests and appt's and things even though I hate needles more than I can explain I think I would almost feel reassured by one at the moment!

    My GP also didn't do a test, I really just went to get a referral. He said it was best to let my Ob do it as he would have his own 'pet' things he likes to check for. Indeed, my Ob did test for a whole ream of things I wasn't expecting, at about 6weeks.

    I wasn't at all worried about waiting, I'd already done three HPTs so I knew I was pg! My GP said that three wouldn' t be wrong!

    ETA My GP also didn't do a urine test, he was happy to take my word for it.
