I recently had a CBC test done for a general check-up. Can this routine blood test somehow indicate if I am pregnant, or do I need a specific pregnancy test?
A CBC test is basically for checking your blood health and hemoglobin, not for detecting pregnancy. For that, a urine test or a beta hCG blood test is what is needed. Stay positive, keep your faith, and everything will happen beautifully.
I just had my baby recently, and I remember getting a CBC done along with my pregnancy tests. The CBC only checks things like your platelet count and hemoglobin, not if you are pregnant. You'll need a proper urine kit test or hCG blood test for that.
No, a Complete Blood Count (CBC) does not show if you are pregnant. My doctor had me take a specific beta hCG blood test to confirm my pregnancy early on due to my history of complications. Please consult your gynac to get the right test prescribed.
Haha, no dear! CBC is just to see if you have enough iron to fight off fatigue, it won't tell you if a baby is cooking in there. You'll need to pee on a stick or get a specific hCG blood test for that exciting news!
I also had this confusion when my doctor ordered a bunch of blood tests during my first checkup! Turns out CBC is just for checking our general health like hemoglobin. Are you planning to take a home pregnancy test soon?
