:D Hey guys,:wave: i am going to the doctor on the 22nd of this month (Friday) to get a blood pregnancy test as i have taken two HPT and gotten BFN (granted i took them early because i am not due for AF until the 26th of this month).:blob_fire

has anyone take a blood test before.:dizzy: This will be my first:confused:

Can they tell you instantly if your PG or not or do you have to wait and then call up for the results?:dizzy:

The reason i am going is that i have been experiencing the sorest boobs ever, especially my nippels. i have also been have frequent cramps in my lower abdomen, short bursts of head aches, a lot of back pain, gas (sorry if TMI), heart burn, thirst and occiasionally constipation (sorry again). :eek:

Any advice on this blood test would be great. :angel:

The blood test is known as beta and measures the amount of HCG in your blood . HCG is released by the embryo once implantation occurs. IT is thus very important not to have the blood test done before 7 to 10 dpo because the results will not be accurate.
The result will not be given to you immediately . You normally have to wait a few hrs. It depends on how busy the labs are.

Wishing you the best of luck.
