Hi, I too am sorry you are having a hard time. I have never had a pregnancy test done by my sub Dr. I agree with most of your plan. You need to protect yourself and your baby so I too would go see a sub Dr to get on sub. Most people don’t even know that they are pregnant at 5 weeks, so even if he found out you could say you didn’t know and then explain why you need his help for the safety of both you and baby.

The part I don’t agree with is to just see him to get enough until you can get more on the street. What happens when your connection runs out again? Stopping sub cold turkey (especially in the 1st trimester) can be dangerous for your baby and could even cause a miscarriage. I would keep going to the sub Dr and after around 2 months I would tell them you discovered you were pregnant. I can’t imagine a dr stopping their treatment because you discovered being pregnant while already being treated. I think your running into the difficulty of finding a Dr because you are not legally on sub. Except for one post, I have never heard of a dr cutting their patient off because they became pregnant during treatment.

This is just what I would do in your shoes. I had all my children prior to becoming addicted and getting on sub. I feel so bad for the women that have to go thru a pregnancy while on sub. Pregnancy is supposed to be a joyous time and because of a lot of Drs bias, sub moms have to deal with a lot of stress and worry. I really hope this all works out with this Dr and you can relax and enjoy your pregnancy!
