Blood Test Results
Posted: 01-06-07 16:00pm

Hi, the girl i'm dating went to a clinic to take a blood test to verify she was pregnant. She came back approximately 2 hours later saying she was 2 months pregnant. My question is: can the results from the blood test be that quick? Or is she bending the truth on this?

is all they did a blood test??? Did she have a u/s? The results wouldn't have been back within 2 hours.

And when you're pregnant you don't refer to how far you in months, most people go by weeks. Although I guess she could have been simplifying it for you.

.I guess it would depend on the availability of a lab for testing. If one is close it could take only an hour. She may have ahd a urine test but knew you might be doubtful and told you it was blood. Flase positives in urine tests are very rare so you could always have her take one at home.

I talked to the clinic itself and they said a blood test has to be sent out and it comes back in about 24 hrs. Or so. However, they did say if she took a urine test at the clinic at the same time, it could be read right away.


Its a long story that I won't get into! : Sad

thanks for your help everyone!

If she really is pregnant, you may want to get a dna test....... Sounds a little fishy to me, but hey, I don't know the whole story Confused

none of this is verified...I never saw the home test she did that she claimed was positive. And I never saw the results of the clincal test. Not sure if she did an ultrasound or not. If she did do a clinical urine test,then they could have told her. If it was only the blood test, I know she's fibbing about getting it back so soon.

How would I go about getting a dna test? Is it just a blood test?

if she isn't willing, you would have to take her to court to have it ordered by a judge.

At my doctor's office, if you get a blood test done in the morning to verify pregnancy, they can usually get it back within 2 hours. When .I had mine done, though, they called me with the results the next morning at like 8am.

yeah, I guess different offices have different situations. The clinic that I called that she actually went to said they send out the tests and get them back usually within 24 hours. So that's probably just their way of doing it

thanks for the feedback!

actually tha first time I found out I was pregnant and the doctor told me I was 8 weeks....I actually used to say 2 months. That was before I started reading up info on pregnancy Laughing so she just may be clueless.
