I went to have a blood test for work to see if I am immune to rubella, german measles and the like… We have just started TTC and I am wondering if a lab test would pick up hcg in blood test (if I am pregnant) if the doctor has not specifically asked for it?

My daughter is now 9 years old and has been diabetic since she was a month old. We live in a very small town in Illinois consisting of 2,500 people. Children with diabetes that young is very rare in my town and my daughter feels like she is different from everyone else. Some of the children make fun of her at school because she has to go to the office to check her blood sugars and take extra steps when her count is high. I have always told her that diabetes is a serious condition, but that she is only different because of the way she has to eat. She has to take care of herself and be healthy. She knows what she can and can not have and obeys that most of the time. I just want her to feel like a kid and grow healthy at the same time. PS: I know I am an over protective mother, but wouldn’t you be if you were placed in the situation of having a new baby diagnosed with diabetes at 33 days old?
I agree with you. The reason she can’t do the blood test in her classroom is because of safety procautions to the other students. The school must maintain a safe/clean environment for the children.

My friend is, Amy, smoked pot less than a week ago. She has to get a blood test done to test her blood sugar levels and to see if her medication, Metphormen, is working properly. Will the marijuana she smoked be detected in the blood test?

How much does a blood test cost to detect pregnancy if I don’t have insurance? Does planned parenthood offer blood tests and how much do they cost there?

During a regualr blood test 4 years ago, my ALT and AST and GGT were found to be double than normal. When doctor checked the ultra sound he told me i have a fatty liver with inflammation and he said it is NASH.
As my weight was 120 kg and hight is 180 cm, he asked me to lose weight and do some regular daily sport.
After doing more detailed tests, he ommitted the other posiblities of having any kind of virus or immune reasons and stayed with the reasons related to obesity and said i am suffering from an insulin resistance case.

My All other blood figures where good, triglycérides is 85 only , HDL 65, LDL 150 , and all other related tests were very good including fasting sugar " below 100 "

My questions are:

1- I read that NASH is linked to High triglycérides / low HDL / and High LDL levels. Totally contrary to my case! can i still consider it that i have NASH with such results!!?? or what?? knowing that the inflammation in liver is clear in Ultra Sound.
My ALT & AST were about 50 and 75 and GGT was about 110 in the same tests.

2- Doctor asked me to take Avandia 4mg on dailt basis to improve insulin resistance and take off some pressure off the liver. After a month of treatment, liver functions figures went back to normal. all below 40.
But also after 4 months, they increased again to previous level but he told me to keep taking Avandia and lose the 5 kg i gained in these 4 months, maybe because of the drug itself. This was 18 months ago and after this i continued avandia but did not do any test. I still feel some pain in the upper right just below my rips.

Was Avandia the correct solution?? and what to take instead now after it is removed from the market in my country?? what is the best replacement if any?

3- Can Nash " if i have Nash " be reversed and how?? is there any new efective drug that solve the problem of liver inflammation and higher figures of enzimes ??

I can not go back to my doctor now koz he left the country and i have to start again with another one.

Hope to receive good news.

Thx A lot.

I want to test my teenager for drugs but want to use a blood test. Do they make such a thing for home use.

I am a week late on my period. This is not normal for me. My periods are always on time. I too 2 at home pregnancy tests and a urine test at my health dept and they are all negative. I went to the ER and got a blood test and it came back negative. My period is no where in sight and I just don’t understand. This is normal for me. Could the test just be wrong? I’ve heard they are very accurate.

I took a blood test today and it was negative, but Im curious how long after conception will a test show up positive. Also does a non pregnant women have a testable amount of HCG in her system normally. Because the nurse said I did have so many measurements of HCG but it was still a negative test and to come back in a week if I still havent had my period. Thanks!
Im 4days late already.

My mom is probably going to take me to the doctor tonight… I am not supposed to get my period till Sunday – look at my past questions for more information on my situation.

So my question is how early can a blood test detect pregnancy…? Would it pick up on if I was this early?

I started my last period on the 21st of January so the days I ouvlated were the 28th-31st (so said the ovulation chart…) My husband and I had sex during those days. I really thought I could be pregnant. But I was in the emergency room on Feb. 4th (I have an ovarian cyst I thought ruptured), they drew blood then sent me to get a CT scan. They never told me what the blood results were but I assumed they were negative because they didnt say anything and I had the test. So my qestions are this: 1- Could I be pregnant and the blood test not show it? 2- If that was the case, could the CT hurt the baby?
The doctors knew we were trying so I assumed they tested for pregnancy with the blood but they did take urine too so they could have just tested with that. I know I should have asked more questions but I was in too much pain to think

just what i asked: Is a blood sugar reading of 114 normal if I got a blood test at the hospital 1/2 hour after eating?

I was just wondering how early can a blood test detect a positive pregnancy? I know that a blood test is a more accurate way to test for pregnancy so I was just curious how early it can pick it up. I know the earliest you can test on a urine is five days before a missed period but wtih a blood test is it about the same?

my 17 year old daughter is unwell at the moment and has been now for approximately two weeks. It started with her finger nails growing lumps on them from the cuticle. She visited the doctor with this and he did a blood test, this came back with low blood sugar and low white blood count. This blood test was repeated a few days later and is apparently normal. This doesnt help me as she is going through spells of extreme tiredness and generally feeling really unwell. She is having spells of shaking, dizziness, light headed and feeling like she is going to faint and a feeling she describes as everything is a huge effort to do. Then twice now after she has eaten she has got very hot feeling very unwell, her hands and feet feel clammy (sweaty) and she feels her chest is very heavy again she feels very unwell. Does anyone have any suggestions please. Thank you
I have taken my daughter back to the gp today and tomorrow she is having a blood test for fasting glucose would anyone suggest that this could be diabetes would this make her feel like this
im not sure how to answer peoples questions to me on this website so i will do it this way for now. my daughter eats a very healthy diet of fresh fruit vegetable and meat.

Ok, so I’ve been having relatively strong positive pregnancy tests for the past two days. I’ve been using a cheap internet strip-type test (not the type you buy in the stores), and I’ve been comparing the intensity of the lines. Today was the day I was supposed to start my period, so I’ve been worried that I’ll lose the pregnancy. I got a really dark line yesterday after about four hours of not drinking anything or going to the bathroom. Twelve hours later, I took another test with first morning urine and the line hadn’t changed, if anything it was lighter. I did get up a few times last night, and I had some water to drink about four hours before I took the test, and I also went to the bathroom at that time… Am I going to lose this pregnancy? My doctor won’t even consider doing a blood test until I’m at least a week late. My last pregnancy ended in a missed miscarriage at nine weeks. Thanks.

I’m sick so I went to the dr’s and she said that I have bronchitis but she couldn’t put me on anything yet cause we didn’t know if we were prego or not and my period isn’t due until Thursday/Friday so she told me to test this morning and if it was negative, then to come in and get a blood test. Well I took a hpt and of course got a negative as it would have been to early to really test. I got a blood test done and it came back negative as well. Is there any way the blood test could be wrong because I haven’t even missed a period yet? I just have this weird feeling I am pregnant, I can’t really describe it, it’s just a feeling.
Could it not have implanted yet? Because the test came up negative she gave me amox so hopefully I am on the road to getting better.
