For all you early testers...

[tcinks]

...did you wait until af was due to call your doctor for betas, or did you call right away? I'm not due until Tuesday, but I already have multiple positive tests.

I got mine 9DPO on Friday and called Monday 12DPO.

I got my bfp 10 dpo, sent my doctor a message that day requesting tests.
I went today at 12dpo for my first beta draw, and to check my progesterone.
Still waiting on results.
I figure it's better to get the test done early, so if I need progesterone or something, I can catch it in time.

I got my BFP at 9dpo and called doctor straight away, but I knew they'd want to put me back on aspirin/progesterone otherwise I'd have probably waited a bit.

Here in the UK it may be different though as they don't do blood draw to check HCG or progesterone levels as a matter of course so the midwife doesn't usually see you until at least 8 weeks, but they do see me early as they prescribe medication due to previous recurrent miscarriage.

I got mine around 10 dpo but waited until the week after since I had a doctor appointment anyway so just told her then. They didn't do betas, I was just referred to a midwife.

I got my positive on 11dpo on a Sunday and called Monday morning and they had me come in that day.

Thanks gals! I went ahead and called, waiting on a call back...

She just called, and apparently this office doesn't do betas unless there's a reason for it. :/ All my other 3 pregnancies they did it (at a different office) so I thought it was routine. :/ I know it isn't necessary, it was just always reassuring. Oh well...

I called at 12dpo and they asked if I missed my period. I said no, not yet. She said "oh, was this a planned pregnancy?" Uh.. duh?
Sorry, but I felt that was an unnecessary question for a receptionist. Maybe I was being a hormonal B
Anyway, they won't see anyone til after 8 weeks so I didn't get scheduled til nearly 9 weeks along.

I had a surprise BFP at the doctor's office but they sent me for blood work right away and now I am going every 48 hours to make sure my beta levels are increasing appropriately. I had MC last time so they are monitoring me closely and making sure that everything is going as planned.

I can't believe the receptionist asked you if this pregnancy was planned, how rude!

I got a positive yesterday but haven't told doctors yet. Am due on tomorrow so think I will ring on Monday to book in with the midwife.

 

[Xpecta]

I called the day after I got my bfp, which I THINK was a couple days after my period was due. However, I ovulated late, so I don't really know where I was in my cycle. I saw him twice already. He was pretty quick.
