How Accurate Is Blood Test? Posted: 06-23-04 18:49pm
I took a blood test and it shows i'm into
my 6th week now. Nurse keeps telling me
that nothing is 100% sure. How accurate
is blood test?

Like stated...Nothing is 100% positive,
but it is very accurate. To be
completely sure, u'll need to get an
ultrasound.

Some nurses said that ultrasound at such
an early stage can't help much. Some said
that it would help. Some said that I need
to wait until 8th week to even be able to
get an ultrasound. It is very confusing.

How confusing is that!!
So I might not even be pregnant!! I took
a home preg test which showed up positive,
but I wanted to know for sure so I had a
blood test!! It came back positive too!!
But until I have an ultra sound does
this mean I may not be pregnant???
Gosh that puts the pressure on a bit

No, you are most likely pregnant, but they
can confirm how far along you are from an
u/s.
