Hi everyone!
Just sat here after getting my first BFP and wondering....what do I do now? 😂
Would you keep taking tests? When would you ring doctors/midwifes?
I'm in mild shock I think!

I stopped taking tests straight away after I got my digital, you'll drive yourself up the wall with worry about line progression etc.
I waited till I was 5 weeks (generally 5 weeks and it can't be a chemical...I think) and self referred to the midwifes then 😊 depends where you are, sometimes you need to go through you gp for a referral. And congrats!!

Thankyou! I will definitely take the no more tests advice I think I would drive myself loopy!

Congrats OP!😁🎉

I agree with the above, stop testing now as it just causes unnecessary stress.

I self referred to the midwife the day after I got my positive. They'll make the appointment based on how far along you are.
Nothing much happens at this stage really, you'll have your booking appointment and then the 12 week scan. If you're not already start taking folic acid and Vit D, that's pretty much it for now
