Hi,
Its more advisable to wait at least 1-2 weeks after your missed period day to test. my periods were usually quite on time too but there have been times my P came in 3 weeks late and I was not pregnant. Even if you go to a gynae, they'll also ask you to go back to them in 1-2 weeks time.
Hi everyone![]()
I have a few misleading symptoms and I'm not really sure if I'm pregnant or not. I've been late for 7 days, had two negative test on pregnancy kits. And today I was bleeding heavily. I'm not really sure if this is period or implantation bleeding.
Is it possible I could still be pregnant?
Thank you!
Hihi! I think highly likely you are pregnant. You can go to any GP and request for a blood test. The blood test test for the hcg level and is very accurate. After that then you can slowly look around for a gynae... good luck!Hi girls
Just took 2 tests, clear blue showed a plus but the cheap one showed a super faint line (not sure if my sight was affected by the clear blue result hurhur). I should prob area doc? But dk to go gp, poly or women's clinic? How do they usually do first tests?
My period is irregular so I'm not sure what week am I...though my last period was in early May
Thanks!
I am 12 days late and have just tested positive using the pregnancy kit this morning. However i have got spotting for the past 2 days and getting on off abdominal pain. Therefore i am quite worried.
Will be seeing a gp tomorrow.
Would like to check how will a gp check? Isit just urine test? can i request for hcg blood test from a gp or must i go to the gynea? Understand that first appt for gynea is normally 2 mths later, however can i request to see a gynea earlier if i am worried since i am experiencin some abdorminal pain and spotting.
Would appreciate any form of advice, thanks.
Hi. Firstly congrats on getting a positive
Sharing my recent experience with both GP (at polyclinic) and private gynae. The former made me take a urine test only. I asked why not a blood test (i feel it is more accurate), he said i would undergo a blood test when i go to the (public) hosp for my first gynae appt.
The polyclinic managed to arrange an appointment...one month later! I didnt feel good about only seeing a gynae so late during my first trimester.
I went to a private gynae a week later and immediately he ordered a blood test. The next day i received a call informing that my progesterone level is very low and i have to go to the clinic immediately for a jab.
I was reflecting upon these experiences. If i obediently waited for the public hosp gynae, something would have gone wrong already.
Hope my sharing helps and all the best. Rest a lot! Spotting and cramps may be due to lack of rest.
Hi I went to a GP, he did a urine test for me, but was not conclusive. So I requested a blood test. Doing blood test at GP will need 3 days to get result. But I was anxious so I did my at private hospital A&E, got results in 3 hours.
After confirming I am pregnant i immediately went to see a gynae. I did not wait for 2 months later as I was worried. I also have cramp and spotting.
Gynae say I was 3 weeks pregnant and gave me medicine to support pregnancy. Took scan to ensure that sac is in correct place and it's a ok pregnancy.
Hope the above info can help u.
Hi there
Thanks for sharing, guess i might not want to wait for so long, especially since this is my first time and i am quite worried.
Just to check, the scan is able to spot the sac at 3 weeks?
I saw a black dot and he told me that it's my baby. That was about 3 weeks.
When I went to scan at 5 weeks, I can see the sac and the baby heartbeat very early.
If you are worriedgo and see the gynae asap. I went immediately when I discovered I was pregnant, even though everyone tell see only at 5 weeks, as I feel cramp and I got spotting also.
Can i check with you which gynae you went to? Is it private? Do they allow walk in? Am trying to find one asap. Thanks.
Hi mine is a private gynae at gleneagles. You have to make appointment to see her, but it's not difficult maybe just one or two days in advance can already.
Do you have any preferred hospital that you like to give birth in or any gynae in mind ?
Currently i am thinking mount A, Dr Goh SL, but she is not around now and the earliest appt will be 2wks time so the clinic suggested that i see other gynae first coz of the spotting and abdominal pain.
So i am tryin to find another gynae that have appt either today or tml just for my first check to confirm everything first.
Yah just see one to confirm everything is good first. Don't worry too much. That time I also have cramp and feeling very bad, in the end the gynae say all is good.
I have just went to see a gynae at one of the tmc clinic in jurong and did my first scan..was abit shock coz i did not know anything about internal scan..pardon im really new at this, coz i thought scan is from the stomach.
Was yours also internal scan for your first appt?
it was an assuring visit as i get to see the yolk sac and the heart beat which appears as blinking on the screen, doc was assuring and i sign a pre antenatal package for 4 visits before 20 weeks to monitoring the status. Abit worrying as the doc detected two fibroids inside me which i was totally clueless until today.
It was a really overwhelming feeling and many qnsssss in my head right now what i can or cannot do or eat etc. time for lotsa research.
Thank you so much for the advice and assurance earlier! It helps alot![]()
Hi, my first visit to the doc he tried to did a scan at the stomach for me, but he cannot see the baby. So he did the internal scan, then can see the baby which is a little black dot. I also did not know about internal scan. The doc explained that I was too early in pregnancy so stomach scan cannot see very accurately, so he did the internal scan to see everything.
I also have a fibroid. But the doc say it's very small no need to concern, just leave it as it's very small.
Suddenly a lot of things to research and learn. And if I got cramp or feel something wrong I suddenly very worry ha ha
hi mummies... i need advice badly... my AF is due on 14th... and since 10th till date.. i had been testing on test kit.. all show super super faint line...
i did a beta hcg ystd n shows negative..
my hub n i did it on 3rd aug which is consider my last day of ovulation..
for the past few days till now... my nausea got from bad to worse... cramp in abdomen very bad... i get watery discharge.. sometimes i see abit of yellowish stain... but it doesnt smell at all..
my cycle is 30days n im on time n regular... but all preggy symptoms pop out 6days after hub n i did it.
i am still 2days away from AF. the waiting game is a pain.. n the blood test result makes me feel very down...
but all 10 test kits i do from past few days till now.. all shows very very faint pink line...
shld i just give up on thinking that there is hope this month or just keep testing?
yeah.. i guess so too... sigh.. maybe im just too desperate for a no.2..my advise to u is to just wait it out. there's nothing to 'give up thinking'.. if you're really preg, your menses prob wont come even if it's on the 14th. so why not in the meantime, just wait and see what happens? honestly, there's nth much u can do now also...
