Can the laboratory test show 4week pregnancy?
Yes, especially if they do a blood test. As soon as you become pregnant, "preg factor" hormone appears in the blood. A blood laboratory test is very accurate, because they are looking for that hormone. A urine test works on the same concept; reacting to preg factor hormone in the urine; a blood test can look for lower levels of the hormone.
Im a week late for my period urine test at doctor negative im getting a blood test done if im pregnant should it show up in the blood test?
Yes
How early will a blood test for pregnancy work?
Pregnancy tests work by analysing the amount of pregnancy hormone present in your body. Generally, a urine pregnancy test is less accurate for two reasons: a) the hormone is being detected through urine, which can alter moreso than blood, depending on how much water you drink and whether or not you use first morning urine (first morning urine is better for pregnancy tests). b) the pregnancy test itself isn't as detailed and reliable as an analysed blood test. The moment the sperm fertilises the egg, the hormone pregnancy starts circulating in your blood. A blood pregnancy test ought to give clear results within a couple of days. Your GP may want to take more bloods a week or so afterwards to verify the result.
