My doc asked for a TSH test and im a little confused, does this also tell if im pregnant or its something else completely? thoda gyaan chahiye, anyone knows?
Nahi, TSH test se pregnancy pata nahi chalti. TSH thyroid check karne ke liye hota hai. Pregnancy test ke liye urine kit use karo ya beta-hCG test karvao.
No, TSH test is for thyroid and cannot detect pregnancy. For pregnancy, you need a beta-hCG blood test or a simple home urine test. If you are feeling any unusual symptoms, it's best to consult your doctor.
Haha, I wish it did, because then I wouldn't have spent so much money on urine kits! But no, TSH is just for thyroid. You need a standard pregnancy test kit to see those two magical lines.
I am also planning my pregnancy and had the same doubt! I learned that TSH is just for thyroid, and we need a urine test or hCG blood test to know if we conceived. Good luck to both of us!
Actually, when I missed my periods, my saas suggested getting all blood tests done, but my doctor explained that TSH only checks thyroid. We had to do a separate urine test to confirm the pregnancy first. So don't confuse the two.
Please note that TSH is only for thyroid levels, though thyroid is very important to manage during pregnancy. To confirm pregnancy safely, please do a home urine test or ask your doctor for a beta-hCG blood test. Take good care of yourself.
My mother-in-law also got confused about this once, but TSH is only for checking thyroid health. For detecting pregnancy, doctors always ask for a urine card test or a serum beta-hCG blood test. Please trust your gynac's advice on which test to take.
