TTC After a Loss

physical today should I get pg test?

I have an appointment this afternoon for a physical (yuck!).  Our insurance makes sure we do one each year so I have no choice but to go, eventhough I have seen my ob/gyn about 7 times in the last 3 months....

This is what I'm thinking, when they take blood to run all of the normal tests, should I ask them to test for pg?  I am 5DPO and I know I couldn't possibly do a HPT for at least another week, but would it come up for the Dr?

WWYD?

Re: physical today should I get pg test?

  • I really don't think so. You start producing HCG after implantation and it's far too early for that. It's usually about a week to 10 days after O.  Even if you implanted today (at the earliest) it would take a couple days for it to even show up. So regardless, it will come up as negative on a blood test.

  • I think it's still possible to early but, if your already paying for it why not. 
    10/17/2009 - Our Miracle came 10 weeks early. IF,2 MC and 1 Preemie we have our miracle.. Baby Hope 10 weeks 5days was taken from us on Dec 18, 2007. Forever with us and Forever missed. Triplets Lost baby A @ weeks, Lost Baby B at 6 weeks and lost baby Abigail at 14 weeks when she was born to little for this life..... Forever with us ....
  • Maybe bring it up to your doctor and see what he/she thinks?  I'd want to know early, but only if it was a BFP.  That would be a tough call for me.
