Is Skipping HCG Blood Tests During Early Pregnancy Normal?

Home » Blog » Pregnancy
I just found out I'm pregnant and expected blood tests to confirm HCG levels. Is it typical not to have these tests unless there's a concern like previous miscarriage?

What does your Blood Test mean?

Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!

Oh, for heaven’s sake! Here we go again with the assumptions. Just because you’re new to this doesn’t mean the doctors aren’t doing their job. Let me tell you something, honey, it’s pretty standard not to have HCG blood tests unless there’s a specific concern. Home pregnancy tests are very reliable these days, and doctors have their reasons for waiting until that first ultrasound to confirm things.

Honestly, sweetie, trust the professionals. They’ve been through this more times than you can count. They know how to handle early pregnancy without jumping to unnecessary conclusions. Remember, getting blood work done doesn’t guarantee everything is perfectly fine - it’s just a snapshot, not the whole picture.

And sweet pea, don’t let anxiety get the best of you. I know it’s nerve-wracking waiting for that first appointment and ultrasound, but patience is key. If you’re really concerned, have a chat with your doctor. They might agree to do a test for your peace of mind, but understand that their usual approach is based on solid medical reasoning. Relax and focus on taking care of yourself!
