Question about Doctor appointment...

okay so I called the doctor to make an appointment to get a blood test to see if I was pregnant, but they said they wont see anyone till they are at least 8 weeks along. I tried to explain that I dont know if I am "ALONG" at all, but they still refuse to test me...Has anyone else had this problem?

This is so frustrating!

I never had that problem with my doctor, but my sister's doctor won't see her until she's 10 weeks!

I would go to a women's clinic to get the test done. I went today and it only cost $25. That way you will know for sure!

With my first child my doctor would not see me unless I had a postive HPT. I would suggest if you are going on a week or more late than try to tell your doctor that. If the doctor still will not see you then I would look into another doctor.

I just called my family doctor this morning and asked if they would do a blood test. They wrote up the order, I picked it up, and went right over to the hospital. If I am positive, then I will call my OBGYN for the rest of my care.

Just my 2 cents worth - it seems that the doctors would want to see patients as early as possible to ensure great care from the very beginning.... Maybe I should only be giving my 1 cent worth as I don't have any kids! ;)

Good Luck...I should know my results tomorrow!

HI

I am 1 week late and 4 - Hpt and I called my doctor this morning. They put an order in for a blood test today. I just had to go to the lab for the test. I would suggest going somewhere else. I know a lot of people who test - for hpt and are positive with a blood test.


Good Luck

I love hearing about people who test negative with HPT's, and are really positively pregnant and find out through a blood test!!!!! (Gives me hope....)
