It’s definitely different in different areas. I think I done this the day I found out or day after, this was before my missed period. I done the self referral as that’s what it was in my area at the time, they then called me to ask a few details and get my 8 week booking appointment sorted x

Where I live in Godalming it’s 6 weeks for registering it and then they get you booked in for the 8 week booking appointment where they do bloods and urine samples and ask a thousand questions. Lol.
