Can a hospital pregnancy test tell if your pregnant before your missed period?

Laura asked:


My hubby and I are trying for our first and have been doing the ‘baby dance’. Last week we did the baby dance again and I started my period the following day. 2 days later my period completely stopped. I can’t say I feel morning sickness or any other signs, yet. I know it is to soon to use a home pregnancy test but if I go to my doctor will the pregnancy test there show I’m pregnant or can they check my horomones some how? Thanks! Oh and baby dance means ***.

    that’s crazy something like that happened to me to and i was worried but i waited and took a test and it said negative so i was a little re-leaved but you should wait for two wks than take a test

    I believe it can, b/c there are over-the-counter tests that claim the same thing. The hospital/dr can draw blood and test for HCG…a chemical only present if you’re pregnant. Good luck!!
