Q: intercourse on 7/1 only. hcg blood test <2 yesterday. still need test? thanks

Depends: Did you miss a period? If you did and the HCG level was done after missed period, you are not pregnant. If you did not miss a period you may wish to do a home test. If you miss your period by 4-5 days, do a home pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex.

Q: blood test. nothing unusual except magnesium. 1.01 mmol/l (lab range: .7-1.0). any need for follow-up?

No: What you presented is within the normal range. The reference range is central 95% of people, so 5% of normal people will have a value outside that range. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.

Q: last sex 5.05. on 8.06 i took blood test hcg beta hormon level 7, 6. im not preg. why my beta is higher then 5?

Possibly pregnant: The HCG test you had was equivocal, meaning you could be pregnant, but it is too early to be sure. You should do another in a few days.

Question 1

if i had a negative herpes blood test at three weeks and seven weeks is it possible i still could have hsv-1?

Accepted Answer

Sure: If you just caught it after the last blood test, you would have herpes-1 now, but a negative last blood test. Herpes-1 is commonly found in people by the time they become adults. It is common enough that it is considered normal to have herpes-1 oral herpes. Usually, there is not a reason to repeated tests for herpes-1 unless a person is worried about catching it on his genitals via oral sex.

Question 2

im 5"5 and iv been smoking pot for abt twice a week for seven years but haven't smoked for nine weeks now and i have a blood test soon. how will i do?

Accepted Answer

Likely good: It is rare that blood tests are done to evaluate long term thc abstinence.  Urine tests are highly likely to be below the cutoffs of most labs at this time.   There have been rare cases of it being found in the urine after 30 days but as you might imagine this is controversial.

Question 3

my period started one week early, stopped after a few hours, then spotted for two days and stopped. two days later, it started normally. last exam was seven months ago and normal. recent blood test was normal, but t. bili was 1.4.  should i worry?

Accepted Answer

No: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, If the result of your test was 6.9mg/L, it suggests the presence of inflammation and risk of heart disease. Consult this site for more info.
