Okay I am going to have another go at my post - I am so tired but I want to get everyone's opinion so here goes 
Yesterday I called my midwife and found out that she is on holiday until 17th August, so I rang my doctor and asked if I needed to come in or if I could wait until my midwife came back from holiday (I was hoping that I could just wait) but because I had the mc last year they said I should come in to get checked out. So my thinking would be that I would get a confirmation pg test, blood pressure, weight, blood test form, script for folic acid and a packet of goodies/info to take home. Anyway my DP & I went along and all I got was a blood test form and a script for folic acid. Not even a confirmation pg test!! Was I wrong in thinking I would get all that?? I honestly felt like it wasn't worth it and I could have waited - I already have folic acid tablets as I have been taking them since the mc and surely a blood test could have waited, I know my blood type & that I am immuned to rubella (ok they are doing my hcg levels too, which I will get done again in a week or two) What does everyone think was my doctor really slack?
I hope everyone is feeling okay and not too much ms yet. I had my first nauseous spell today, I got off the bus after work and felt awful, my poor DP is being so awesome, he got me straight home and into bed - he is so sweet

Am really glad to hear you say that Bunny. I have been having period like cramps since I got home from work. Was a really long and stressful day and I had to lift a heavy awkward box into my car. The worst thing is that DH has gone away for a 2 day meeting. And he has gone out to tea with lots of his mates who he doesn't get to see often. Will have an early night and hope that that part of what is meant to happen. On the bright side the increase in hcg is really good. I can't wait until we can start to tell people. Workmates are starting to think I'm a real nana!  When are you telling people?

I had period cramps for about 4 weeks last time and i have them again this time. They are nothing to worry about. Just stretching going on.
I have told quite a few people. Had to tell my boss because i know i will be useless when the ms kicks in!
I booked my MW today. The same one as last time. Makes it feel more real now.
Bunny, when i went to my Dr last week the pg test was still quite faint so he said do it again next week and come back at 8 weeks for blood tests and that was it! I thought he could of just done a blood test then. i thought he would of been a bit more helpful.

When I went to the doc I got all you mentioned Bunny, except the confirmation preg test. I didn't really know what to expect but think she was pretty thourough. It was the first time I had seen her and from what she was saying and the smile on her face, I could tell she loves the baby aspect of her job. (She also said i was very early and shouldn't even have tested yet. lol) I have an appt booked with a midwife next week to meet and see if we get each other. Will make it very real. Wish we were going to have a dating scan (damn that charting making me know exactly when everything happened!) as I think that would be great for us, especially DH. He seems a bit disconnected so far. Any ideas how I can help that? He is really excited and has been really clucky but ...

I think its a bit strange your doctor not doing a confirmation pt
my one did - all I said was I got a +PT last night, and he gave me a jar and off I went to get a sample lol came back did test, then got form for the bloods and script for folic acid and because of aidan being prem I discussed what it means this time around and asked for a referral to the hospital and a dating scan lol

I didn't bother with the doctor this time my midwife is organising the bloods. my doc last just did the hpt test and weighed me ugh. i have since changed docs cause we moved not cause she weighed me and they have opted out of the free maternity care but i do know they do a more thorugh exam with blood test and stuff. My mw said it was ok a pos test is a pos test and as I was it wasn't my first baby i could just go through her.
Cramping seems to have stopped - I do remember it from last time but your mind plays tricks on and freaks you out a little so fx baby well stuck in now.

My GP or OB didn't do a preg test on me either.
I was told that as HPT's are so accurate now a days they don't feel they need to.

Yay! It's the weekend. I am really looking forward to having a sleep in for 2 mornings in a row. I have been really tired in the last 3 days, going to bed at least an hour earlier than I usually do. Hopefully I won't wake up to early this weekend. Nothing exciting planned for the weekend, except making the most of the lovely fine weather. The garden is going to look really bare whn I pull out all the weeds. DH is home soon. Am really looking forward to it even tho he has only been gone since yesterday.

We never did the POAS with this baby, just confirmed it with blood tests. I got a bit sick of doing them only to be negative all the time, and we agreed not to have them in the house so I wouldn't be tempted to test and be disappointed again.
I haven't made it to the doctor yet, although technically I'm under the IVF doctor (not literally!) for a few weeks yet. I have made an appointment with my own doctor for next week though. I'm not looking for a midwife as I'll be having an ob, and have been trying to get another specialist to organise that through the hospital for me. Worst case we'll go private, but I really just want it sorted so I feel that at least someone's looking after my maternity care.
I've been having a few stressful days thinking the pregnancy might not be continuing, because apart from the need to eat constantly, even though I'm not feeling hungry, all the symptoms suddenly stopped. Blood test today confirmed everything is ticking along nicely so I'm feeling reassured now. Also the sore breasts are back with a vengeance, which I'm strangely pleased about. I also have developed a noticeable pot tummy even though I've actually lost a little bit of weight, but no morning sickness yet. I got DH to take my 5 weeks profile photo and you can definitely tell something's going on.
Speaking of DH, he was so cute this week I just had to share. The other morning he was trying to get me out of bed to go to work and he said "come on you two, get out of bed". He's already talking to, and rubbing the bump, so it's really exciting for me when he takes such an interest.
For the due date list, I think it's 9th April, but I know it will be earlier than that, so will just leave it as unknown for now.

Hi girls, I feel this may be a little premature, but I've done 3 HPTs this morning and all were positive.
