  1. Most likely the doctor will give you a blood test. I've never had to have one to find out if I'm pregnant so I'm not sure how long that would take to find out.
  2. blood is very accurate and normally so is urine i dont think you are really...sorry
  3. Uh, yeah. You're Dr. should have done a blood test first. They're more accurate than urine. Especially if you are already 3 1/2 months late. Definately request that you would like a blood test. Results are typically less than 48 hours.
  4. In your position, I'd be asking for an ultrasound, not a blood test. There could be something going on inside you that a blood test wouldn't detect. Blood tests tend to come back that day if done in their office. They are also more accurate than a urine test.
  5. With 3 1/2 month late i doubt that the doctor will give you a blood test, by this time if you were pregnant it would had come out in the urine test. If he does give you a blood test the results will be back in 2 days the most and blood test are 100% accurate. On Monday you should expect the doctor to give you a urine test in the office and than prescribe a pill to have your period come (provera). Well i wish you good luck.
  6. Yes, a blood test will be ordered. I had 3 positive home pregnancy tests, and my doctor still ordered a blood test. The blood test is 100% accurate, it tests the level of pregnancy hormones in your blood (hcg) which are supposed to double every 48 hours, so if you've missed your period by 3 months then if you're pregnant, the levels will be high enough to be read in a serum test. Anything over 5 is pregnant.
