Question

How soon after a faint positive would you contact your midwife?

The last 2 days I've gotten 2 faint positives on HPTs, but I'm so worried of miscarriage and false positives that I'm not sure if I should contact my midwife yet, or wait a few more days, test again, then contact her? I feel a bit ridiculous right now.

I would wait until it is time for af to start. That way you would know you have a missed period and your results shouldn't be faint by that point. Most don't see you until 6+ weeks anyway

I think the period is the part that has me going back and forth. If I go based off my usual 23 day cycle tomorrow would be my period, but if I go off the odd 26 day cycle from last month, my period wouldn't be until Saturday.

I don't know where you live, but I live in the uk and most midwives won't see you until you're 8 weeks pregnant. With my son I rang at about 6 weeks and booked an appointment for when I was exactly 8 weeks

I live in the US, and I believe my wait is 6 weeks as well, but I can't remember if my midwife will come out a bit sooner so I can get pregnancy confirmation for insurance.

Even if she doesn't/can't I think I'm going to still give her a call Monday so I can at least let her know and set up an appointment.

Thank you ladies for putting my mind at ease! I just need a little patience I suppose.
