    Sorry. Don't get it. I know it's exciting and I hope the OP gets the outcome she wants but I've no idea why you'd bang on to a bunch of complete strangers on the interweb about whether you're pregnant or not when you can just go and get a test and find out. Seems to me to be the oddest form of masochism/over-sharing imaginable.

    Hey OP, I really hope you get the result you want when you test tomorrow. Lots of pregnancy symptoms can be very similar to time of the month ones, but being a week late is a good sign. For myself I knew I was pregnant before taking a test because suddenly I couldn't keep apple juice down or stand the smell of coffee. Both two of my favourite things normally. Good luck, fingers crossed for you :)

    You don't need to see the doctor, just ring the surgery and book to see the midwife at around 10-11 weeks pregnant, counting the first day of your last period as day 1. (Of course, you can see the doctor too if you'd rather but they won't need to do another test as you've already done it!)

    The midwife books the dating scan if you'd like one, and will book your anomaly scan for around 20 weeks.

    Good luck, and congratulations on this next chapter in your lives :)

    Congratulations.

    Yes book a GP appt although he won't test you as home pregnancy tests are so accurate but he will put you forward for a midwife and scan etc

    Take folic acid as well

    Hope you and your OH have been able to talk

    Congrats. Call the docs and tell them but don't necessarily expect them to confirm anything as in my area they just say 'did you get a positive test result?' and if you say yes they book you straight in with the midwife as their tests are the same and there is no point repeating them.
