I went to the GP today. She took one look at my HPTs and said I was definitely pg. She offered to do the urine test if I was worried or anxious or particularly wanted it confirmed but I decided her reaction to the HPTs was enough for me (i was only getting faint lines that haven't gotten darker).

I had blood taken but I think it was routine stuff re: Hep C, antibodies etc not to confirm the pregnancy. She told me to book in for a scan at about 8 weeks and put me down for a local ob (we only have a couple in my town) to see him after the scan. Apparently they like to get women in to the ob before 10 weeks to make sure all is ok and it isn't a multiple birth. I know my LMP date so I doubt it's a dating scan. It appears to just be a local policy between the practice and the local base hospital.

She also said the stuff the other girls here have said - aside from bloods and a scan there isn't any more to do now until much later. She told me to avoid soft cheese and raw fish and get on with my life. Too easy so far!

If you're worried, it can't hurt to see a different GP.
