Can cbc show pregnancy?

Question

I got a CBC done for weakness and my periods are also late by few days. Now im wondering if that blood report can hint at pregnancy somehow. Probably a silly doubt but curious.

No, a CBC is just for checking blood counts like hemoglobin. For confirming pregnancy, you need a beta-hCG blood test or a simple urine test.

A CBC won't show it. Ask your doctor for a proper beta-hCG test if you want to confirm pregnancy through blood.

CBC won't detect pregnancy. You need a specific hCG blood test or just a simple home pregnancy kit!

No beta, CBC is for checking blood levels and strength. Buy a urine testing kit from the medical store to check pregnancy.

No dear, CBC only checks things like infection or iron levels. You need a urine test card or a blood test called beta-hCG.
