I did a HPT and got a BFP on Sunday so went to a maternity clinic yesterday (no GPs as such in Japan!). I expected to have a blood test, but they just confirmed with my pee and gave me an internal ultrasound (sorry if TMI) even though I'm only 5wks... The staff were nice enough, but it was all so clinical and rushed, and I was nervous/excited/scared that I completely forgot to ask about a blood test... And it cost about $110 (with insurance!)!
I'd really appreciate if you could tell me what the first check is like in Oz. What are your experiences? What should I ask? What should the doctor do? Please help!
