Re: So I got the BFP...
Yes, doc appointment would be your first step. Some will want to see you right away to confirm with a blood test/check your levels and some don't want to see you until you are further along. My doc didn't want to see me until I was between 8-9 weeks which was a whole month after I got my BFP.
Good luck and welcome!!!!! I think you had the shortest stay on TTC ever!!!!!

Re: So I got the BFP...
Congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months.   
Besides calling your doctor's office to make an appointment, I'd start taking prenatal vitamins (if you're not already taking them).

Re: So I got the BFP...
def call your Doctor. Just FYI, if you see a specialist for a certain issue, its also good to call them. I had my thyroid removed in January and was told to call and see my endo ASAP once I got a BFP. I actually had the preggo confirmation from my endo two weeks before we saw my OB/GYN.

My last period was 4/12 and I'm 7 weeks, 4 days preggos according to my Monday apt. So based off that, I would say you're 5 weeks preggos.

Re: So I got the BFP...
The calculations are based on the date of your LMP. My first appointment was basically an annual exam. I was also sent for bloodwork. I didn't have a sono until my next appointment. Many doctors won't do a sono until you are at least 8 weeks.

Re: So I got the BFP...
I think you'll be 6 or 7 weeks PG, like a PP said many Dr.s like to wait until 8 weeks to do a sono, but since you aren't sure maybe they will do it then to help get a measurement. They will also take some blood.
At my 8 week apt they also did a few vaginal cultures and sent me to a lab to have a bout 8 vials of blood taken

Re: So I got the BFP...
Congrats and welcome!!! Call your doctor and start taking folic acid/prenatals right away. I also went out and bought a few books which helped a lot.

Re: So I got the BFP...
congrats!
definitely begin taking prenatal vitamins (any store band should do) while you wait for your first Dr. appt. Also start adhering to the food do's and don'ts (avoid alcohol, caffeine, raw/undercooked meats, unpasteurized dairy...)

thanks.....
Actually I have been on prenatals since a visit to my OB in March....Done!!
Now is there a list of things somewhere that I need to avoid??
The wine is a scary one, how bad is it if I have had some up until this point?? Not alot but some....

Re: So I got the BFP...
a little wine or caffeine won't harm the baby... but my attitude is that I'll avoid them altogether, since it isn't too difficult.
oh, I forgot, also no artificial sweeteners, and increase your water consumption 
just search the preggo forum for the food lists... there have been many threads on it.... or google foods to avoid in pregnancy
