4 Months is 100% conclusive and like I said,doctors like that should not be giving out the wrong information.He/she needs to go back to med school.You're 100% in the clear.All the best.

Don't worry andrew,we have our plenty here aswell.I believe that Dr Sean Cummings and DR Handsfield are experts and know what there talking about,especially when it comes to the DUO.Why should a person have to wait 3 Months for a test when a DUO has the accuracy of around 99.89% at 4 weeks.My plan of action for testing should be a DUO at 4 weeks,followed up by a final test at 12 weeks and thats it.
