When to let the Dr know

Question

Hi ladies. I got a faint- but noticeable positive on a home pregnancy test. Should I wait to call my OB until I have a much darker, obvious 2 lines? Or should I call now? 
Thanks!

Answer

No, you don’t need to wait. Call and set up an appointment. Lots of doctors won’t want to see you until 8 weeks along but making an appointment in advance is recommended.

Answer

Can’t hurt to make the appointment now, they won’t see you for a few weeks anyway

Answer

You can call now and they’ll just confirm it. Either way the ob has to confirm it themselves for their records

Answer

You can call already. Likely won’t be seen til 8-12 weeks anyways

Answer

I called when I had a faint line and was scheduled the next week! I think each doc is different in when they see you, and who knows- maybe they’ll see you right away! No hurt in calling and at least getting an appointment on the books!

Answer

I called when I got a faint line and they scheduled me for 8w.
