Q: How early for blood test ?

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.
