When to see the doctor?

Hi ladies,
I tested positive the day before yesterday. Yesterday I tested with 4 different brands, all positive. I'm a total newbie when it comes to getting pregnant and pregnancy
My husband and I have been trying since November, and now it's finally happened. My period was due on the 27th (cycles of 43-43-44 days), but this time my cycle is clearly shorter. I'm currently on day 37 of my cycle and tested the day before yesterday because I had severe lower back pain. This morning I tested again and it was positive, so three days in a row.
What are the next steps? By the way, I'm from Belgium, so maybe things differ between the Netherlands and Belgium.
Should I make an appointment with my GP as soon as possible to get blood drawn? Should I also make an appointment with the gynecologist ASAP?

Congratulations on your pregnancy first of all!
In NL you call the midwife practice. The GP can't do much for you in principle. -

In Belgium, you just need to call your OB-GYN. They'll schedule an initial ultrasound. Your GP can do it for peace of mind, but it's not required

I'm also from Belgium. I always got my blood checked for toxo, CMV, and other deficiencies first. And added hcg
almost at the same time I made an appointment with the gynecologist, and during that appointment I brought my results with me. So she had them ready in advance.
Congratulations by the way! -

Here's another Belgian hihi. With both pregnancies, I first had blood drawn at the GP's office.
Then I immediately called the gynecologist. You get a first appointment at around 7 weeks of pregnancy, but call as soon as possible because they're always fully booked! -
