If you take a routine blood test at a doctor's checkup will it show whether you are pregnant or not?

Answer 1

The earliest time a blood test will show a pregnancy is about 8 days after conception (or about one week before the next period is due), however this is only possible for about 5% of women. Most women will have a positive result about 11 or 12 days after conception (or a couple of days before the next period is due). Hope this was helpful everyone!

Answer 2

Blood tests are routinely used to detect all sorts of diseases and problems, so the blood does contain the information needed. However, a blood test is usually designed to deal with one specific situation, so lab techs usually won't run other tests on the blood, other than the physician's direction. If you have any other concerns, you should discuss them with your doctor and get the right tests done.

Answer 3

"Routine" diagnostic blood work does not check for pregnancy. A Beta HCG test needs to be ordered to detemine pregnancy. This is a separate lab test from what is considered routine! HCG measures rising hormone levels that are accosiated with pregnancy in the first trimester. By the 2nd trimester hormone levels steady out.

Answer 4

Depending on the lab and the pregnancy, it can sometimes pick it up 10 days after conception.
