Pregnant?

Hi, i have several questions. I have been trying to get pregnant, and recently
took a home pregnancy test that was positive. My first question is: Should i
repeat the home pregnancy test to make sure, or should i see an OBGYN soon to
confirm the pregnancy?
Second question: Should i start taking any supplements besides folic acid, which
i am already taking? Recent blood work showed that i had low levels of iron and
vitamin D and my PCP recommended taking supplements before she knew i was
pregnant, but i haven't started taking these yet.
Third question: The reason that i saw my PCP was because i thought i might have
an UVI. I was experiencing frequent urination and urgency and i noticed a strong
smell when i wiped. She took a dip stick of my urin which was neg. but
prescribed a 3 day course of Pivmecillinam Hcl anyway, and said that i could
wait and see if the symptoms got better before starting the antibiotic. The
symptoms seem to come and go, and now i might be pregnant, so should i take the
antibiotic or not?
Fourth and last question, i will be away from home for 5 weeks, should i see
OBGYN during this time or wait til i get home and see my own doctor? Thanks for
your help. :)

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise the following:
1) It can't hurt to repeat the test, or your doctor may want to, but its not necessary--call to schedule your ob appointment well before your 12th week of pregnancy.
2) I would advise a good prenatal vitamin with Iron, folic acid and vitamin D
3) I would probably repeat the urinalysis and a culture if necessary before recommending the antibiotic
4) you can probably schedule your ob appointments around your travel unless you develop a high risk condition
Hope I got them all!
Good luck and congrats!
Dr B

Hi I need some advice.  I had my last period in December 2013 I took a home pregnancy test in February and it was positive,went for a 12 week scan and the nurse couldn't see anything. I have every pregnancy symptoms including producing milk.  Since I had had 2 urine test and 1 blood test and all negative. My stomach has grown and even my belly button has come out. I went to the emergency room due to server back and groin pain s and was told I might have cyst or vibroid.  I don't know what to do or want to know has anyone had this happen to them and is there a chance I could be pregnant I swear I can feel it kicking.  Thanks
