How early for blood test ? Posted: 06-10-08 07:47am
Okay, so I have ZERO patients! I was
wondering if any of you knew how early you
can get a blood test from your doctor
after conception? I think I may have
conceived May 25 but my period isn't due
until the 16th of June. I just want to
know if I can get a blood test this early
and if my doctor will just give me one
upon request!?! Thanks guys:o)

It depends on your doctor, your insurance
and how long you've been trying to get
pregnant. Chances are, no, he won't do it.
Why do you think you conceived 3 weeks
before your period is due?

Hey Ingi! Thanks for the reply:o) Well, I
don't have a normal 28 day cycle...my
period comes on the 16th of every
month...sometimes the 18th. It's strange!
My husband and I have only had sex 2 other
times without a condom and that resulted
in our two children! lol! We aren't really
planning on a third...but we are
finacially stable and it would be fine. My
periods only last 3-4 days and we had
unprotected sex 6 days after my period
ended. Since then, my face has been broken
out horribly (I have clear skin normally),
I have a bladder infection (I'v only had
those twice....during my previous
pregnancies), and my cervix has changed,
it is high, soft, and closed (I check my
cervix regulary, it is safe...google it:o)
But, the main thing is, I just feel
it...like with my other two children. I'm
really not very educated on the whole
cycle thing but I'm learning. When do you
think would be the best time for me to
take a home pregnancy test? And, what kind
would you suggest? Anyways, thanks again!
After reading your post, I decided not to
see my doctor....I'll just have to wait:o)
Talk to you soon!!!

I know how to check my cervix.
Laura told you yesterday or the day
before, the best time to test is after
you've missed your period. So on the 16th,
I guess.

Well, I wasn't sure if you knew about the
cervix thing... some people look at me
wierd when I talk about it. Sorry if I
offended you.
I am aware of what Laura told me...but I
like to get many opinions. I'v decided to
test again this Saturday morning. 2 days
before my period is due. Thank you agian
for your advice and response.
