BFP... now what?

Question

I know this seems silly, but I don’t know what to do now. How important do you think it is for me to go get a blood test done to confirm pregnancy? How do I know everything is okay and normal? Lol I’m a whopping 3w5d and I’m already not sure how to do this.
I feel like I need to DO something. But I also desperately need a nap. Should I go get a digital test? Gahhhh
Anyone in the same boat?

Answer

You can take a pregnancy test with the first pee each morning to see the progression in the darkness of the line. That just gives you some reassurance that your hormones are increasing!  Here's what mine looks like:

Other than that, I'd wait a few days until you officially miss your period to schedule an appointment. Doesn't hurt to get it on the calendar far in advance - then you have more time slot options!

Answer

I would say once you officially miss your period you will call and make an appointment with your OB. If you need a dating ultrasound they might schedule an appointment soon, but if not they should schedule it for around 8 weeks.
