Doc told me to get a hemogram done for something else and i was wondering if pregnancy bhi show ho jata hai in that report. Trying to conceive from few months so just curious. Anyone knows?
When I was staying with my mom in my first trimester, she helped me understand all these tests. A haemogram is just for checking your general blood counts, like hemoglobin. For checking pregnancy, my family doctor got my beta hCG test done. It is much more accurate!
Actually, a haemogram is just a complete blood count test, it doesn't measure the pregnancy hormone. For confirming pregnancy, you need to check hCG levels. Please get a proper home test kit or ask your doctor for a beta hCG blood test, don't keep guessing sweetie.
Oh I got so confused by all these lab names when I was trying! A haemogram (CBC) won't show pregnancy, it only tells you about anemia or infection. You need an hCG urine or blood test. I used to overthink every single test report, so don't worry, just ask your doctor for the right test!
A hemogram (if you mean haemogram/CBC) is basically a blood test to check your overall health, like hemoglobin levels. I had it done so many times before and after my C-section to monitor my recovery. But for detecting pregnancy, it won't help; you specifically need a Beta-hCG blood test or a home urine kit.
No, a haemogram test only shows your blood count like WBC and hemoglobin, it can't tell if you're pregnant. It is important during pregnancy to check for anemia, especially if you have other conditions like gestational diabetes where nutrition is key. For pregnancy, please do a proper hCG test instead.
