me and my parents have the same family doctor, i went to him to get a physical about a month ago b/c my psychiartist needed it for me. when he got the blood test done i came back having anemia. strange thing i've been taking iron medication b/c i had the anemia. so everytime after that i've actually had to get bloodwork done 3 times and it came back the same. the last timemy parents went over there was last week and he said he need to examine me and ask me a few questions. my last pd was late, and my next one is due on 8/26 and i haven't seen any signs of it when i usually see signs a week in advance. i've had unprotected sex, using the withdrawal method, the doctor doesn't know that part yet, however he wants to send me in for a sonogram? what exactly is the connection between the anemia and him wanting to send me for a sonogram? is it bc he suspects pregnancy?? serious anwers plis, oh and i have to see him this saturday

There is no connection between anemia and needing a Sonogram.. he is sending you for this because you haven't been honest with him and told him that you could be pregnant.
He probably suspects you are pregnant, but is probably trying to rule out any internal bleeding .. which Could be the underlying reason for your anemia.
I would phone your Dr and ask to see him without your parents around.. I'm sure he will understand and get the message!!
Good Luck

sorry but this dr sounds weird. buy a pregnancy test from the dollar store and take it =) anemia should have nothing to do with sonograms

i don't know, you should ask your doctor that and you should tell him the truth about the un protected sex in case he decides he wants to do other tests that could harm your baby (assuming you are pregnant) i would call him today and let him know, or your parents.

You should ask your doctor why he wants you to have this test done. They will answer all your questions. Also, you should tell your doctor everthing he/she needs to know, otherwise they cannot help you.

Yes, it's because he suspects pregnancy. And with due cause.
WITHDRAWAL METHOD DOES NOT WORK.
