Thatās annoying. I also thought my GP would want to do bloods but they just took my word for it and booked me in with the community midwives. Nobody ever wanted to see a test either, just took my word for it. I did end up having a bit of brown bleeding at around 7/8 weeks and the procedure in my area before 12 weeks is to go to A&E. I ended up sat in there by myself (covid restrictions so husband wasnāt allowed in and had to wait in the car for hours). Then they checked me over and asked me to take a pregnancy test before they would refer me up to the right department for a scan etc. even though Iād already taken about 20 tests at home I still started to think āWhat if itās negative now and they think Iāve made it up!ā
I contacted my dr yesterday to book in for blood work. They refused to do it this early on, they are well aware of our years of infertility and I explained i just wanted the blood test to tell me for definite. Iv done about 40tests. But im still scared they arenāt true. Just wanted the blood test to ease my mind I will contact my fertility clinic an pay to have them done. Just sad my dr wouldnāt do them given our struggle.
@Stephanie this is beautiful. Congratulations to u on your little one. I contacted my dr yesterday to book blood work and they refused to do it.Just wanted the early reassurance that Im definitely pregnant So nerve wracking after bein told it wouldnāt happen naturally
Congratulations. We both had fertility issues, I have PCOS and my husband low morphology, borderline count and normal motility. Just over two years of trying to conceive and a couple of months away from booking our private IVF cycle and I found out I was pregnant. I totally understand how nerve wracking it is and how it is hard to believe. I took loads of test too and constantly worried something would go wrong. We now have a beautiful 10 month old boy. Best of luck with your pregnancy and to others struggling, please never give up hope.
@Abbie i feel exactly the same way.! I have such a physical job. Lifting and sitting on floor alot. It has me an anxious wreck all week š. Tryn to act normal but my mind is consumed right now.
@MummaB honestly - Iām a complete anxious mess!!! I found out on Monday and since I canāt eat or sleep because Iām so so scared. Every time I go to the loo it feels like my heart is pounding out of my chest!! Sending loads of love - I hope our babies stick!!! Xxx
@Abbie no way! Are you like me. Petrified of it not being real I havenāt even told my hubby yet. I want to make sure line keep getting darker. And also going to phone the fertility clinic for bloods. I dont want him to also be heartbroken if this isnāt real Sending love and hope it sticks for you too š¤š¼š¤š¼
