Doc asked me to get a cbc done for something else and now im just curious. Will it show if im pregnant or not? Period is few days late so my mind is going everywhere.
Haha, no, CBC won't tell you if you are pregnant, it only tells you if you are anaemic or not! You need a urine test or a beta-hCG test for the big news.
No, a CBC is just for complete blood count like haemoglobin. For pregnancy, you need a beta-hCG blood test or a simple home urine test; make sure you visit your doctor regularly to monitor everything.
A CBC test is just for checking blood cells and costs very little, but it won't detect pregnancy. Save your money and just buy a 50-rupee urine test strip from the pharmacy first!
I completely understand how nerve-wracking the waiting period is when you want to know. But a CBC test won't show pregnancy, you'll need a specific hCG test to get your answer.
When my toddler was in my belly, I remember getting confused by all these medical terms too. Don't worry, a regular urine card test is all you need to check first.
