The GTT is to test for gestational diabetes LW. It's usually done around 28 weeks I think, but if you have had it previously or have risk factors like diabetic family they ask you to do an earlier one too (usually in first or early second tri). They are of course all optional tests - but GD should not go unmonitored so worth it in my opinion.
My first goal is to get to my 8 week appt on Thursday. I was 8 weeks at the start of my first miscarriage so its always a 'goal' for me as such, but that was a blighted ovum and we know there was a baby at least this time. My OB said she will give me a in-office scan at 8 weeks, so I just want to see a little heart beat flickering still and ill be happy. Then to make it to the 12 week scan and pass the screening tests

we're all nervous here, so don't worry. I think having been through what we went through steals the innocence from us the next time.
I feel for you as early on I had one episode of spotting just after 5 weeks . I was convinced it was all over but thankfully all was well . Can I ask why are you thinking ectopic ? Could be just left of blood from implantation , its impossible to try relax so I'm not even going to say it . All you can do is take it one day at a time xxx The odds are stacked in your favour and I'm sure all is ok xxxx
