When to see doctor after pregnancy test?

Question

I just got a positive result on my home pregnancy test! I'm so happy, but also unsure about the next step. When should I schedule my first doctor's appointment after a positive test?

Vidya Naik · Answer

You should contact your doctor as soon as you get a positive test, ideally within a week. They will guide you on the next steps and early vitamins.

Congratulations dear! You should call your gynac right away to schedule your first appointment, usually around the 6th or 7th week. They will start your folic acid and book your first dating scan, so don't delay.

I booked my doctor's appointment a few days after my positive test. She started my prenatal vitamins immediately, which really helped, and scheduled my first scan for around week 7.

Please contact your gynac immediately after seeing the positive line. Having gone through a miscarriage, I know how crucial early monitoring is, so getting your progesterone and blood tests done early can give you much-needed peace of mind.

When I saw that double line, I felt so incredibly happy and rushed to call my gynac the very next morning! I felt so relieved after she confirmed everything and gave me my first set of vitamins.
