    Blood test
    Its been 2 and a half weeks since my last period is this to early to take a blood test and if so how long should I wait?? :confused:

    It's always best to wait until you actually miss your period to take any type of pregnancy test. A quantitative blood test would show up now but most doctors won't preform one of those until a qualitative blood test is done(not as accurate). The waiting game is not fun but we all have to play... relax.

    Depend on what the blood test is for.

    Definitely too early... you need to wait until at least 1-2 weeks past a missed period...

    FYI a quantitative blood test may not show up yet... it all depends on whether the baby had actually implanted or not...

    I agree! I meant to add that it may or may not show up ;)
