My girlfriend just went to the doc to see if she had ADD/ADHD, lol..and well, we had a big scare (well to me it was) earlier some months, about for the past 2.5 months i was scared she was prego because we had alot of unprotected sex, then 2.5 weeks ago she got her period (and i was so relieved because it was a month 1/2 late) and she hasnt shown any prego symptoms, and even after all of that i rememberd that we had sex a week before her period, and once the second day after (and after that i put my foot down and said that we are done until she gets on BC because condoms never work for us and i dont wanna be scared like i was soo..) and ANYWAY, she went to the doc for ADD and the doc said she wasnt sure wat meds to put her on cuz she had ONSET ADD, and so they took blood, and she will find out results soon...my question is will this blood test, or any typical blood test like this, show pregnancy hormones?? or do you have to ask for a specific blood test for this? thanx!

Sometimes, depending on the dr they will run a pregnancy test depending on the type of blood work you have done. BUT the answer to your question, I am pretty sure it's not a standardize thing you have to ask for a blook pregnancy test in order for them to evaluate your hormones to see if you are pregnant.

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a "Typical" blood test. to give you and idea, the list of tests that doctors can as for is about the thickness of your average bible, on A4 paper. A doctor who requests a blood test will write exactly what the test is for, the blood collector will take exactly the right amount of blood in the right colour coded tubes, and the laboratory will test that blood for exactly those tests written on the request form by the doctor.
