It is still early--i dint pass urine test until 3 weeks past missed period--which would leave you almost 2 more weeks still.

You can go to the dr, for blood test or just wait.

You don't even start urinating all the time until your farther along.

I'm 7 months now & am just starting to pee all the time, which is from the baby pushing on your bladder.

You can start urinating more right away. Because the hormones, and from the extra work your kidneys are doing. Your kidneys and heart are working over time now. I began the more freguent urination very early with all my 10 different pregnancy's. Especially noticed it sooner and more frquent with this pregnancy.

Someone else can step in here if I am wrong, but I believe many women experience more frequent urination a few weeks after conception through the first trimester, as this is a time for very rapid fetal development. During the first trimester the uterus/baby tends to lean back on the bladder causing the need to urinate.

Then it generally levels off a bit in the second trimester, because now the uterus is pushing more upward toward your belly button, instead of back on the bladder. The baby's growth is not as rapid in the second trimester, as in the first. The baby grows more internally and in length during this time, which in turn stretches the uterus upwards.

Urination then becomes more frquent again in the third trimester as the baby fills the uterus to capacity through its weight and length gain, again causing it to push back on the bladder.
