Then What?

Christine
I'm so focused on TTC baby #1 but I also want to plan ahead. So to all those mothers or informed people, what happens after the BFP? All opinions welcome 
Do/did u confirm pregnancy with a blood test at the doctor?
How soon did u tell ur significant other? Family? Friends? Ur boss?
How often are the doctor appointments?
What do u know now that u wish u had known then?
Thank you in advance! I don't really have close friends/family that I can talk to about this yet
