Just a simple blood test.

The typical procedure is to take blood and test urine. There is more to it than that though. There is also a pelvic and a rectal exam that must be taken. These tests determine how healthy you are and if there are any unforseen problems that will not show up in your blood or urine.
Home pregnancy tests are not all 100% positive. You can get a false positive. I recommend seeing your family doctor, or going to Planned Parenthood for help.

Doctors can also perform quantitative serum beta hCG levels. The measurement is done in mIU/ml, and a level above 25 mIU/ml usually indicates the presence of a pregnancy. Two tests are usually necessary to verify a normal increase, usually 2-3 days apart. The increase in serum hCG can be interactively monitored. Below an hCG level of 1,200 mIU/ml the hCG usually doubles every 48-72 hours, though a rise of 50-60% is still considered normal. Between 1,200 and 6,000 mIU/ml serum the hCG usually takes 72-96 hours to double, and above 6,000 mIU/ml, the hCG often takes more than four days to double. Failure to increase normally may indicate that the pregnancy is not developing well and can be an early sign for a possible miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy

There are 2 differnt ways. The first is the same way you do it at home except they make you pee in a cup than they use a dropper to put 4 drops onto the pregnancy test stick. The other way is that they will draw some blood from your arm to confirm it.

Usually first by taking a urine sample. Also a blood test can be done. I think it all depends on how far along you may be. The tests check levels of the pregnancy hormone HCG.

They usually do 2. A urine test and a blood test. Usually they do the blood test if you think you are very early pregnant, and to determine how far along you are by the hCG levels.

Depends on the doctor's office. Mine wanted me to have taken a home test (urine), then they send you to a lab for a blood test.

The urine test is the same as the kind you buy at the store. At the doctors office. you pee in a cup and put the stick in the cup.

usually the same way as at home. they use your urine and a test strip to see what color it turns. unless there is a problem and then they sometimes will due a blood test to count your something level. can't rember which one it is right now. Anyway you look at it if you are pregnant you get a blood test anyway.

well i went to my ob/gyn and they made me urinate in a cup and then they took a little dropper and placed a small amount in the little tester. its not like a pregnancy test though that you can buy at the store.
They can also do a blood test which will detect it waay earlier.
