I just had an argument with both the receptionist and my dh after ringing to tell the Drs office Ive had positive home pregnancy tests for the last 2 weeks. I was asked to come in for blood work to confirm and I said I didnt want the labs done. Ill happily do a urine test but I think bloods for hcg levels are unnecessary and often cause more anxiety. Theyre not routinely done in the UK but knew itd probably be different here in the US. Im really upset now as everyone is making it out like Im just being really difficult surely I have the right to say no to certain tests??? I dont think I realized how uncomfortable I was going to feel doing all this in a different country. Im trying not to offend anyone but shouldnt my best interests/feelings come first?
