Thanks for all your replies, mamas!
I don't think I had a pregnancy test at the clinic with my first pregnancy. I just made an appointment with the GP, who told me to book in with the community midwife. This time round I went straight to the midwife. But the doctors' receptionist did mention that things have changed a bit in the past year.
When I spoke to her on the phone, the midwife said she couldn't give me an appointment without the positive test, but then she backtracked and booked me an appointment for Friday! I guess I'll have to have a test on Friday; I hope it turns out !
I'm sorry about your chemical, Kate. I don't think you'd still have enough hcg in your system to get a positive from it weeks later. Keep testing and hopefully you'll get some reassurance from darker lines!

I have negative tests in between, and my lines have definitely gotten progressively darker over the past five days. My only concern is that there might be retained tissue or something that is making my body think it's pregnant again. One of the RNs at my doctor's office said it might be a concern, but that they can't really do anything about it until they do the ultrasound (at around 9-10 weeks).
