What did you get done? And did your clinic do it? I don't think there's much between us- i'll be 5 weeks Monday. Hope you're okay x

Have i got my wires crossed lol. I thought you meant home pregnancy tests. Do you mean extra tests through the clinic? Xx

That's not too bad. The ones I saw online were around £100. If it puts your mind at ease and you have the spare money then why not

I just relied on the urine test. I’d save up the money and use it towards a Harmony Test at 10 weeks plus- gives you more accurate results re risk of Down’s syndrome and a couple of other chromosomal abnormalities (you can also find out gender too). I’m 15 weeks now. I can see why it appeals but the urine tests are very good. Xx whatever helps put your mind at ease but there is always another milestone to get to- 2ww, 12 week scan, 20 week scan until baby starts moving! Xx

Thank you! Will look into it. Just nervous as this is our 1st positive and I'm terrified it won't last. X

I was the same - I went to Gp and she sent me for bloods.

It's exhausting isn't it? I don't know how anyone can actually 'relax' as they like to say. Just hoping our little dot is here to stay xx

I know - ours was a natural pregnancy straight after a failed IVF and we barely had sex that month - so I didn't believe the test. I never saw a positive pregnancy test before! 🤣 I think the GP felt sorry for me and sent me straight away for bloods even though she said it wasn't necessary. I just wanted to know the level of hcg.

I understand where you are coming from. Xxx
