    Congrats! I've no doubt your GP will give you another form ... and another if you want ... to have a second (or more) BT.
    If it makes you feel any better, I asked for about six BTs over a three-week period, and then I had a scan at 6w. Having said that ... I was lightly bleeding/spotting most of that time so I really needed to know if my pg was progressing.
    Good luck xx

    Thanks for the support ladies.

    At the moment I have gastro (great timing hey)!! Dont know how i contracted it but was very upset.

    Went to the medical center but was too chicken to ask for a blood test as they are very rude docs there.

    So I took half a day off to talk to my family doctor who is much more understanding and gave me a blood test to recheck my HCG and reassured me that gastro won't harm the bub BUT IM STILL WORRED =(

    Glad your GP got it sorted. Best of luck with the next BT.

    You poor love, gastro is the worst. Bubs will be ok though, really. Rest and look after yourself.

    Hun, I sympathise about the gastro. I had a shocking dose of it when I was pg with DS2 (think I was about 5 months pg at the time). It didn't affect him one iota.
    Look after yourself cos it's no fun, xx
