Pregnancy blood test in the UK?

Emily

TTC, but I’m 7 days late (never late) and went to the doctors today because I can’t stop peeing and thought it may be a symptom, despite the bfns. Also had cramping and spotting a few days ago but I feel like the doctor just fobbed me off and now I’m having my kidneys tested because of the peeing 😩 They don’t do a blood pregnancy test on the NHS anymore (in certain counties), so I didn’t have that option. So my questions are:

- Has anyone done a pregnancy blood test privately in the UK?

- Has anyone had bfns for a long time before FINALLY showing a positive?!
