Q: is a negative beta hcg blood test (<5) after 19 days of sex( 2days period delay), 100% reliable? can i still be pregnant?

Possible: 2 days after a missed period, with a negative blood test for pregnancy, you are unlikely to be pregnant, but no lab test is 100%. To be sure you should repeat the test in 4-5 days. In about a week you could do a home pregnncy test using first morning urine and following he instructions in the kit carefully. If the repeat blood test or the home test are negative that would rule out pregnancy.

Q: hi dr, i took a blood test this morning for pregnancy, the result is negative. but until now my period has not yet come. i'm 13 days delayed now.

Call doctor back....: Call the doctor who did your pregnancy test and ask what the next step is........ Missing a period is not uncommon, but the doctor who told you that you weren't pregnant should also be helping you with the next step for a period that is 2 weeks late. Good luck.

Q: can i take a fsh and lh blood test after my period? my flow this month was light and period was delayed. will this blood test also detect pregnancy?

Yes and No: Yes, you can take the fsh & lh blood tests after your period even if it was light (as long as you believe it was a period). Usually test on days 2-4 of cycle. No, the timing and the fsh/lh hormones will not detect pregnancy. If the period was not a real menses and you are actually pregnant with bleeding then a HCG test would detect pregnancy. I hope this answer helps.

Q: hi i am 31 yrs old. i have been trying for pregnancy since november last yr. this month my periods are delayed by 18 days. hpt & blood test negative. what's the next step?

Sperm analysis first: If you have been trying for a full year, then it is time to get a fertility specialist involved, if no previous children. A sperm analysis is the first step and can be sent from your family doctor's office. There are many reasons for infertility, so starting on it early for your first child at 32 makes sense.

Q: i had hsg done last month, period due 15/03 but not started and no signs. few home pregnancy test and blood test all negative. can hsg delay period?

Yes: Yes an HSG can leave residual dye in the reproductive system altering period expectant dates.

Q: i took a blood test approximately 4 weeks after intercourse, or 3 weeks after my first missed period. the b-hcg blood test was negative. i read ectopic pregnancy have a delay in producing b-hcg test. was the blood test taken early ? missed 2 perisos?

: A pregnancy test after a missed period is highly accurate.

Q: do i need to take blood test with fasting to confirm my pregnancy?

NO: Fasting is not required to check for pregnancy hormones in your blood.

Q: my sugar blood test =101 after 12 h fasting and the hba1c =5.3 , i am so much worry about this , should i be ? labs says that normal range is 75-115 ?

Not to worry...: These values are within the expected range, so i see no need to worry about them. If you are concerned about possibly having diabetes, due to family history, then i would suggest you see your primary care physician to discuss these concerns.

Q: i had a fasting blood test done to see if i have thyroid problems, if i was pregnant would this show up?

Yes: The pregnancy can interfere with antibodies levels but the thyroid function will still be abnormal if you have a thyroid problem. It's important to have this checked during pregnancy.
