Home test is positive but i dont know the right time to actually go see the doc. Should i go immediately or wait few weeks? First pregnancy so im a bit lost.
Usually, you should go around 6-8 weeks for your first checkup. But if you have any severe cramping or spotting before that, don't wait for home remedies, just visit your doctor immediately.
I called my hospital's desk right after my home test was positive. They booked my first appointment for the 7th week, so call your hospital's reception and they will guide you on the exact date.
My doctor explained that going around 7 weeks is best because the fetal heartbeat is visible on the scan by then. If you go too early, they might not see anything and that just causes unnecessary anxiety.
Don't run to the clinic the minute you see a faint line unless you want your doc to say 'congratulations, now go home and wait'! Wait for a week after your missed period, then go.
Go as soon as you miss your period and get a positive home test. Since I had sugar issues later on, getting early blood tests and starting a proper diet plan early on was very important for me.
