blood test pregnancy negative Posted: 03-28-08 05:42am
ok so my g/f and i have been worried she
might be pregnant but today she got a
blood test at her doctors appointment
(which wasnt realted to this) and her test
turned out negative. were a little
skeptical about this though because she
hasnt had her period yet and we cant tell
if its late or not because she doesnt
remeber the first day of her cycle, but we
do know that she is supposed to get it
like REAL SOON. Even if she hasnt
had/missed her period yet would the blood
test be able to tell if she is pregnant
already??

What kind of blood test did she get? If it
wasn't specifically for pregnancy,
then they would not have tested for
pregnancy on a general blood test for
something else. Usually a pregnancy blood
test takes awhile - they don't come back
the same day...
Did she tell her doctor she hasn't had her
period? Has she taken a Home Pregnancy
Test (HPT)?
**Edited** If she has not missed her
period she cannot test. Wait until she is
due for or late on her period then get a
pregnancy test. Use birth control. Condoms
and birth control pills can be obtained
free or very cheap at a family planning
clinic (planned parenthood).

a blood test can be accurate as soon as 8
days after conception
you dont need to be late to get a blood
test

If the blood test was checking for a
possible pregnancy and she's nearing the
time when her period is due, then it's
near 100% effective.

well the blood test she got wasnt
specifically for pregnancy, it was just a
regular test to make sure everything is
ok, but even if it wasnt specifically for
pregnancy wouldnt they be able to tell if
she was pregnant by finding traces of hCG
in her blood?
and im pretty sure it isnt too late
because even though she doesnt know what
day her period started we do know that she
had it during the 29th of last month
meaning that she should have it like NOW,
so im pretty sure were good on that lol

They wouldn't be looking for HCG in her
blood if they weren't testing for
pregnancy.
