Hematocrit and hemoglobin normally checks for anemia. The amount of blood drawn for this test is usually so small that they can't even add a pregnancy test to it if they wanted to! You will have to go back to your doctor and request a pregnancy test. The hormone that shows up in a pregnancy test is called HCG and it needs to be specifically tested for if you want to know if you are pregnant or not.

Sorry no, you want an Hcg experiment for that, The most effective factor you're going to look with the ones lab outcome is whether or not or no longer she has an illness, anemia, or a UTI. If she had a situation equivalent to gestational diabetes or preeclampsia the urine experiment would point out that, however the ones stipulations are most commonly identified lengthy after you realize you're pregnant and might no longer exhibit up this early. She demands a urine or blood being pregnant experiment.

No, only a test for HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) - the pregnancy hormone will detect pregnancy.
