Positive pregnancy test

[TTC1984]

I had a blood test done at 12DPO, I am now 14DPO the receptionist just said that all the doctor wrote was that the test was equlivant and he wants me to test in 3 more days, but I couldn't wait and I tested today it was positive, my period is due tomorrow so happy to get a positive before it was missed. I will be seeing my doctor after the weekend, but just wondering when do you have your first hospital appointment and also is it 3mths before the risk of miscarrage lowers?

Risk of miscarriage lowers after about 12 weeks. Congrats on that positive =) My Dr's office wont see you until 12 weeks but now I am high risk so they will see me sooner. All office are different. I would try to find somewhere that will see you around 6 weeks.

i guess it really all depends on who your doctor is...some might see you earlier then others would and some might make you wait awhile..id call just to find out fi i were you..
good luck..

The first trimester is when they say you have the highest risk of miscarriage. As far as your first appointment, that really depends on your doctor. I just got back stateside from an Army base in Korea where they don't see pregnant women before 12 weeks unless something is medically wrong. With my son I was with a civilian doctor in Arizona and I got seen at just over 7 weeks. A friend of mine wasn't seen for her pregnancy in Utah until 12 weeks. I think it's because the chance of miscarriage, so they don't want to see you until you're further along.
