The latest news does say that blood tests are indeed more accurate than home urine tests. Recently, research presented at the Scientific Assembly of the American College of Emergency Physicians revealed that almost six percent of negative urine pregnancy tests can be false negative, meaning the women is indeed pregnant despite a negative urine pregnancy test. Initially, the researchers had expected to find urine pregnancy tests as accurate as blood tests.
When researchers looked at 662 women at Henry Ford Hospital who received both urine and serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) tests for pregnancy. Six women, out of the 102 negative results, tested negative with the urine pregnancy test, yet their blood pregnancy test indicated they were indeed pregnant. Five of these women with false negative tests had serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels in the range 11 to 97 mU/ml, which is normal for the first month of pregnancy.
Though researchers caution that these false negative numbers may be higher than what is actually found in practice, Henry Ford Hospital now uses blood pregnancy tests as the standard for women less than four weeks past the date of their expected menstrual period. So we can conclude that blood tests for pregnancy are more accurate than urine pregnancy tests.

It depends on the doctor's office procedures. I think each of them are different. In my case, when my sugar came back abnormal, they told me at my next appointment. You should just give them a call and find out what their procedure is.
Best of luck with your pregnancy!! Congrats!!

If the results were seriously abonormal, they'd call. If there's a bit of protein, they'll tell you at the next appointment and work from there.

Usually they are able to test it right away at the doctors office and they would tell you about it OK. Don't worry and feel happy about the life you are going to bring into the world. Congratulations!!!!
