How early can I go see a doctor to have a pregnancy blood test taken?

Question

I had sex with my boyfriend on June 14th, and he ejaculated in a condom, but about 5 minutes later did NOT use a condom, and I fear he may have still had semen on him, and I haven't felt normal since. I'm afraid I may be pregnant. What is the soonest I can go see a doctor to have a blood test taken for accurate results, and approximately how much does it cost?

Thanks! -CmurdasGirl

Answer 1

Okay, let's look at reality for a second...

1) You would have had to be ovulating (where you?)
2) If you were ovulating, there's a 25% chance of pregnancy...not 90% or 100%
3) Even if you were ovulating and you did get pregnant, you're talking about last week. The soonest you would feel anything would be a week from now. You wouldn't even be done with implantation yet.

Implantation takes 7-10 days to process after fertilization. During that time is when hCG levels starts to rise. About 2-3 days after that is the soonest a blood test would pick up the pregnancy hormone. Without knowing when your last period was or how long your cycles are it's hard to suggest when you should go in for a test. The general rule of thumb is to wait until your period is due or 3 weeks from the date you had unprotected sex.

I think you're worrying for nothing. If you get yourself too worked up, you're going to throw off your cycle, or even worse, start having phantom pregnancy symptoms.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Usually about a week after. You'll have to pay for the lab fee, plus an office visit, which could be expensive. When i went to confirm pregnancy, my lab cost just for the test was $120. You could go to a free clinic or something though. However, most doctors won't do this unless you've missed your period. I would wait until my period was due if I were you, then take a test if I didn't get my period. I doubt anything you're feeling right now is pregnancy, but just worry instead. Worry about pregnancy & you'll find yourself having all sorts of symptoms.

Answer 3

They will not perform a blood test.The only way is first having a urine test and if that would detect a negative reaction then thats when they preform a blood test.

And as for the price there are programs that are paid by the state.Just go to your local clinic and ask for a pregnancy test and they will help you through the guide of helping you with that,otherwise if you are pregnant you may qualify for Medi-Cal and that would be free for you.

But you may feel different because you are worried and scared and you might not be pregnant,but whatever the answer is Good Luck and Best Wishes!

Answer 4

You can take a blood test now to check if your HCG is positive. The home pregnancy tests can be taken after a week and a half after conception.

Answer 5

5 days before you expect your period, you can take a home test. If that's positive, then go to the doctor AFTER your period is late (has not come on the day you expected it to).

Answer 6

Hey,
You can go see a doctor on June 26th...
I know here in Australia if you go to a medical centre and to see a doctor it's free...
But to see a doctor at his private surgery it cost all different amounts.
I'm not to sure where you live so I can't tell you how much it will cost sorry...Unless of course your in Australia ha ha!

Good luck!
