    Okay ... so potentially I could sterilise a bottle at home and take in a urine sample. Do you think that would be ok, or is it not the done thing anymore?

    I just can't see myself peeing on demand in a doc surgery loo while my 13 month old DS patiently waits somewhere outside!

    Times like this I wish I lived closer to my family .

    My doc asked me for a urine sample, but wasn't going to do bloods unless I wanted them done. He did say that if I was unsure of my cycle dates that he would give me a referral for a dating scan ini 4 weeks time (so that I would have been at least 6 weeks by then). I'm not sure about bringing in urine in a sterile bottle, I've never done that before. Perhaps put a brown paper bag in your handbag so you can hide the urine sample, LOL.

    And... congrats for conceiving naturally! Wahooooooot!

    EDIT: You can always say no if you don't want urine testing . Next time (if there is a next time) I am saying a big fat NO to bloods.
