I cant think of anything else they may ask you. I was in the docs for about 20 mins but they did a pregnancy test on me too as I had not done one at the stage.

Then they do a urine test?How long before he calls me to tell me the results?

i think its usually pretty instant, or so i've been told, mine got sent off to test for bladder infections etc aswell, x

 

[Rumpskin]

They did it there and then. Took 5 minutes.

I would doubt if you get a different result though. x

 

[nikky0907]

Oh,ok,I won't be going crazy at home for a week.Thank you...Then you get send to obgyn?

Hi Nikky

I only got past the going to the docs for a confirmed pregnancy stage. I was due to see a midwife but I miscarried about a week before I saw her.

The docs will pass your notes onto the midwife and they will contact you to see you.

When I went for a test at the docs, they sent it off and then I got the results the next day. x

Hi Nikky

I think different doctors in different areas do perhaps different things! I insisted that I be tested there and then as I said that I had drank a pint of water beforehand and needed to know. She wasnt going to test me as I was only 4 days overdue. Stupid doctor.

Hi Nikky,

When you go to see your doctor, you will probably be asked to give a urine sample just to confirm the pregnancy - this will be tested using a simple stick test and you'll get the result straight away. However if you've done a home test and it's come up positive they may not ask you to do another one.

They will need to ask some questions about your health - nothing too invasive, just general questions about your eating /drinking / smoking habits, any hereditary illnesses, the regularity of your cycle, the date of your last monthly period etc. They will probably also ask you if the father is still in the picture, and may ask you if you're at risk of any domestic violance.

After all this is done they will ask if you have any questions, and will help talk you through all of your options and will be able to give you information and support on how to continue with whatever you decide. If you decide that an abortion is best for you they can help you book this - they will encourage you to talk with your parents about this but cannot make you. If you decide to continue with the pregnancy, they will send your details to a midwife, who will contact you shortly thereafter for your booking-in appointment - where she takes all your details and some blood and urine samples - the whole crazy pregnancy thing starts from there really!

Best of luck, hun. Please keep us updated on how the appointment goes and how you are doing x

I was on the pill when i got pregnant!

Im convinced i must have missed one somewhere though, even though ive been on the pill since i was 16!!
I took 2 pill packets after another because i didnt want to be on my period at a set time...
When i came off the pill, i didnt come on for about 2 weeks!!

I bought 2 home pregnancy tests and both came back that i was pregnant!
I told my boyfriend about it and we decided to go to a drop in centre the next day...
I know they say after youve done a home pregnancy test, then its pretty much confirmed without further testing ....
but we wanted to go anyway!
Found out i was pregnant... did the test there and then and told me!

We decided to keep the baby straight away because i dont believe in abortion
and although it was a big shock and im only just turning 20 in 5 days,
Lee's 21, we already lived together and i know it would be ok!

Is the lad you had a one night stand with the father or could it be your ex?
Is he the type of lad you could tell about being pregnant if it is the one night stand?
What about your family too are you close?
Would they support you whatever you decide to do?

Whatever happens, decide what you want and not what your friend thinks you should do!

I'm sure that I didn't forget to take any pill,but the doctor said that oral birth control is only 91% efficiant.The father of my baby is not my ex.But the guy is still very nice and a good guy who likes me so he's not my biggest concern...My parents are...They will be extremly angry and disappointed.Luckily I have my own apartment so I don't depend on their support...I'm however very close to my sister so I'm sure that she will be supportive and my friends...

I was at the doctor for my results today.My pregnancy is confirmed.I'm 7 weeks along(that's alot)...He said that there are no health issues with me or the baby...He recommended some vitamins and folic accid and told me my options...He said that when I make THE decision I either go to planned parenthood(he gave me the adress) or make an appointment with my obgyn...It should be best that I decide before my 12th week because it's more dangerous if I enter the 2nd trimester...xxx
