Random question but I had a stool test done for some other issue and someone said it can show pregnancy too. Sounds odd to me honestly. Is there any truth to this or just a myth?
A stool test is used to check for digestive issues or infections, not pregnancy. Pregnancy is detected by looking for the hCG hormone in either a urine sample or a blood test. If you have any confusion, always ask the lab staff or your gynac at your hospital, they can explain clearly.
No, a stool test definitely isn't for pregnancy detection. You need a urine pregnancy test or a blood test, which are quick and accurate. Save your time and just grab a home kit from the pharmacy or book a quick blood test. Don't waste time on anything else for this.
Oh, I totally get why you might wonder, with all the body changes, but no, a stool test won't detect pregnancy. You need to do a urine test, like a home kit, or go to the doctor for a blood test. Don't stress too much, the urine tests are quite accurate!
No, a stool test cannot detect pregnancy. Pregnancy tests look for a specific hormone in your urine or blood. If you think you might be pregnant, a home urine test is the first step, or visit your doctor for a blood test.
