I went to a doctor today because of a UTI.
They took a urine sample and I waited in
the room for awhile. When the doctor walks
into the room the first thing he says is,
"Were you trying to get pregnant?" That
kind of took me as a shock and then he
tells me that I'm pregnant and tells me
that I indeed have a UTI and gives me a
prescription for an antibiotic and then
tells me to be careful taking it because
it might harm my baby. I am completely
confused. Is there anyway that he did a
pregnancy test and didn't tell me? I know
I should have asked but I was too in shock
and upset and got out of there asap.
I know that I may very well be pregnant. I
was on birth control for a year and a half
and quit in December due to the side
effects. My last withdrawal period from
the pill was from December 24-27. I then
had unprotected sex (pull-out "method") on
January 2-3 and January 12. I do not know
what my cycles are like since I haven't
had one off of the pill yet.
My question is: Isn't it way too early to
get an accurate result on a pregnancy
test?

Obviously it isn't too early
I think whenever you give a urine sample
at the doctors office, they will almost
always test for pregnancy. They do this
because they can't prescribe certain
medications for pregnant women.

yeah, I would say you are pregnant...if
the test came up positive then you are.
Did the doctor tell you anything else like
when to come back or did your doc give you
names and numbers of an ob/gyn? He should
have done more for you

Usually they will start you right away on
prenatal vitamins. What is up with that
doc?

I have no idea. I'm in college so I had to
go to a walk in clinic here instead of my
regular doctor. I took a test this morning
and it was negative.
As soon as he told me that he left and a
nurse gave me a prescription and said i
could leave.
I guess I'll just wait for my period and
test again.

SOMETHING isnt right
because a dr wouldnt tell you as positive
and then you get a negative? there arent
any false positive tests.

They didn't discuss with you your options?
Hook you up with prenatal vitamins and an
OB's number?
Please visit the clinic again and get
another pregnancy test. The first sounds
confusing!
Good luck. How is your UTI feeling? Better
I hope!
