A blood test won't tell you how far along you are. Only an ultrasound can do that. The blood test will show if you are pregnant, if you have any diseases and so on.

Some blood tests can come back instantly, others take a few days to a week +.

Congrats on your pregnancy. Check out the What To Expect When You Are Expecting book or www.babycenter.com it's a great resource!

Don't listen to Elise. There is bloodwork that tells an approximate amount of the Hcg hormone and doctors can give you a guestimate of how many wks you are.They should be able to get the results back the same day or depending on whether or not they send it to a reference lab, by the next day. It is considered a high complexity test so most physicians don't do it in office. (The test is called a qualitative/quantitative Hcg) Your doctor or his nurse should call you within 48 hrs. I am a nurse and I have worked in plenty of offices where we drew this test.****P.S Melissa is incorrect as well. Don't ask medically related questions to people that don't have any training or education in the area you are inquiring about. Hcg levels do not drop until well after the 12th wk.

No, because normal HCG is a range, and past 12 weeks it drops off a little. My friend thought she was about 10 weeks pregnant, and her doctor said the blood work matched up, but the next week during a sonogram they found she was 21 weeks along.
