Can someone please tell me the connection??

Question

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 i already took 1 prego test and it was neg about a month ago

Answer 1

I would think that he would order a simple urine test if he was suspicious of pregnancy.. but what do I know.

Answer 2

if he suspected pregnancy, he would 1st have you take either a blood test or a urine test in another area of your clinic or hospital rather than having you do a sonogram 1st. the urine or blood test would be much quicker and simpler and cheaper than having a sonogram done. i would know bc i've had all of those: urine & blood tests and sonograms. so i would conclude that he must be wanting to check something else. what i'm not sure, but if he suspected pregnancy, then a urine or blood test would be much easier and cheaper than going right in and doing the sonogram right off the bat. if it turn out that you are pregnant, you really should go ahead and be up front about it rather than hiding the truth, because your parents will find out one way or the other and it will be a lot worse for them to find out when you are further along in pregnancy so that they can help you get the best care for you baby and nourishment, etc. bc if you hide it from them until later, it's likely that you will also not be getting proper nourishment to support you and the baby both and also not getting the proper prenatal care for the baby. those are very important things to have while pregnant, so consider your baby first above yourself and how your parents will react to you. your parent's reactions will pass, but if you don't get proper prenatal care for you and the baby, there could be lasting effects on the baby such as birth defects and such. let's just hope you're not pregnant and I suggest you stop having unprotected sex. The pull out method is not a form of birth control whatsoever. You CAN get pregnant even if the guy pulls out. So unless you are going to use birth control and condoms, it sounds like you are too young to be having sex and to be suffering from what may come from having unprotected sex. good luck

Answer 3

You did not mention if what area was scheduled for a sonogram. But I doubt it was because of pregnancy because in the first place he never directed his investigation towards that aspect. If he suspected of pregnancy, he probably would have ask you about any recent sexual encounters, your menstrual period or questions pertaining to it but at the same time I can't see the correlation between anemia and an ultrasonography.
