Period talk: Questions and advice
in Women's Health ·
Can an OBGYN actually spot a pregnancy just by looking at bloodwork? Here’s the deal: I had blood drawn twice in the last two weeks. First, my GP sent me to the lab and said everything looked perfect. Then I went to my OBGYN—just for a checkup, really—but she ran blood tests too. Everything came back normal, so she just put me on some vitamins because apparently, I'm lacking.
Now I'm stuck wondering: is it even possible that neither my doctor nor my OBGYN suspected I might be pregnant if I actually am?
I'm asking because I started spotting this brownish blood for maybe two or three days, and then for the next two days, it turned bright red. It’s way lighter than my actual period, though it showed up about five days early (my cycle is a mess anyway—usually late 90% of the time, occasionally early, rarely on time). The total amount I bled over those five days would barely fill one pad.
We usually use protection, though we did have unprotected sex twice, but we were careful... still, I need to know: what are the odds I'm pregnant and both my doctors missed it despite full blood and urine panels? I've been reading so much crap online that I don't even know what to believe anymore.
