Hi all, I am a newbie, desperately needing some support. Sorry it's a bit long...

I had a BFP last week [unplanned], but I'm not too sure how far along I am. I definately had my AF on 1st July and my cycle is usually around 30 days so i was expecting the next AF by the 2nd August at the very latest. It hadn't arrived by the 8th August so I POS-ed but it was BFN, then had another BFN on the 11th. Then on the 12th I started bleeding and it lasted 2 days [normal AF 5-6 days]. Had one more BFN on the 15th August and sighed of relieve thinking I'm definately not pregnant [thought i had some symptoms but they could've been all in my head?]

Until last week thursday 16th September when i realised that AF should've arrived again and went to buy a test and it was indeed BFP. Had another BFP few days later. Would i be a total idiot to think I've been pregnant since July despite the 3 BFNs?

I can't get to a GP because I moved house last week and I'm no longer in my old GP's catchment area and I cannot register to another one without a proof of new address which I won't get until another 2 weeks I think. Is this a major problem? There is a walk-in centre near where i live but I'm not sure if they would even take me in as it's not really meant for my situation is it [although I do have a bit of a cold as well..]

And if that's not enough problems, I haven't seen my OH for almost 2 weeks because he's always so busy [2 jobs] and i wanted to tell him about this face-to-face especially because i knew he wouldn't be thrilled. But after a week full of failed attempts to meet up with him i finally decided to send him an email on friday. After that I haven't heard from him at all, he won't answer my calls or reply my texts. It's only been 2 days but how much time am i supposed to give him? We've been together for six years altough the past year has been very difficult but he's pretty much all I have. I don't have family in UK nor close enough friends that i would want to share these news with. I just feel really alone and haven't got a clue what to do???

Would you not still be registered with the old GP's until you can sort out the new one?

Try giving them a ring and having a chat with someone.Having said that, if you can't, I don't suppose waiting for 2 weeks will really matter.

It could be possible to have been PG longer than you think - my first 2, I never had a BFP at all.

Your husband may need a bit of time to come round to the idea if it's a surprise, and I hope he gets in touch soon.

Hope you're OK :)

Thanks for your reply ChooksAway. I guess I'll give my old GP a call tomorrow, the practise is quite far away though.

I'd give your local Maternity Unit a call in the morning and see if you can refer without seeing a GP.

Hope you hear from your OH soon. Not to answer you is a bit odd. Is there anyway you can see him face-to-face?

Perhaps your partner is in shock and just needs a bit of time to process the information?

My pregnancy was planned and my DP still needed the weekend to come to terms with the idea of us being parents.

I hope it all works out for you. Definitely call your previous GP or maternity unit for advice. I'm a bit surprised that the new GP is insisting on evidence of your address change. Surely your tenancy agreement or mortgage documents would be sufficient?
