Pregnancy and blood

Hi ladies watched a programme recently where a lady was doing hgc tests which kept coming back negative. She had a blood blister that popped, and seeing as you can get a pregnancy confirmed via blood at the docs, she dipped a spot of blood from her blister on the test and it came up positive. She continued doing tests via urine for 2 more weeks before they showed up positive... i thought this was pretty amazing.... but please dont go cutying yourself to get blood haha x
