When to visit doctor after positive pregnancy test?
I just got a positive pregnancy test result! I'm so happy but also unsure when I should schedule my first appointment with the doctor. How soon after a positive test should I go?
Don't wait for months! Go see your doctor within a week of your missed period. They need to prescribe folic acid, check your BP, and schedule your first dating scan which usually happens between 6 to 8 weeks.
Congratulations! I am also trying to conceive and have read that most people book their first visit around the 6th or 7th week. It helps to confirm the pregnancy and get your prenatal vitamins sorted out right away.
As soon as my home test was positive, I called my coordinator at Fortis La Femme. They scheduled my first consultation for the 6th week and clearly explained the entire schedule of blood tests and ultrasounds. I highly recommend calling your hospital desk immediately so they can guide you step-by-step.
First of all, congratulations, and it is completely normal to feel super anxious right now! I was so restless that I wanted to run to the clinic the same day. Going around the 6th week is usually ideal because you can see the tiny heartbeat, which will bring you so much peace of mind.
You should definitely call and book an appointment with your gynac as soon as you see those two pink lines. They will guide you on starting folic acid immediately and schedule your first crucial scan to make sure everything is safe and in the right place.
Yaar, actually don't rush the very next day because they won't be able to see much on the scan so early. Call your gynac, let them know, and they will probably ask you to come around the 6th or 7th week. Just start your folic acid till then!
